Paint Your Wagon - with a roller!

No L90D ?

I was just about to say the same !!
Anyone know what is the nearest one to L90D ?
Is there something like Gunmetal grey ?

[meggles]

I called into our local stockist and spent an hour or so trying to find the nearest match to L90D. No chance was the result. You'd need to tint the white they supply. Unless of course somebody has already got some tinted and has the formula.
It was suggested that I go to a local motor factors/auto spares store and find an aerosol which is damn close and try to cross reference that Bit of a hit and miss job methinks.

Think i will just go for a pure white, i just dint want the engine bay etc to look too outa place.

They woukd make a fortune if they converted the vw codes as close as possible

Absolutely do NOT rely on this but: She did say the pure white needs a touch of brown to make it nearer to L90D. Don't know if it's worth a try though, esp as you can only buy a largish tin (I think).
Just a thought: I know it's not going to be exact but maybe if you can get the formula from an auto paints supplier for L90D you might be able to get it as near as damn it. Maybe need to get a few owners together to share the cost? As I said, just a thought.

I'm pretty sure somewhere on this thread someone said that Avenue Coatings had L90D (VW Pastel White) on their system, and could easily mix it to order.

E D I T - found it - post by pierce last Feb:

For info, Avenue coating said they can supply Pastel White L90D mixed and because it had been mixed before there was no extra charge. I think it was £31.80 for 3 1/2 litres, but don't quote me on that.

Just to put my mind at ease , is combicoplor ok for using on the glass fibre roof without any special prep other than keying in. Thanks

[CovKid]

You need to look at the spec sheet for a definitive answer but Rustoleum is really for steel or aluminium. There are better coatings/treatments more suited to glass fibre.

Thanks for the inspiration covkid and all you rollers who have gone before me! Got my van prepped and today the rustoleum combicolor turned up.
Got my alarm set for 6am to slap some ral 6019 up the sides of my van!

I would just like to second this comment, thanks to Covkid and all.

[Dazco]

In case anyone wondered what Ral 6019 is like :



Incidentally - very low on DVD stock in Manchester. If you need one, order in the usual way and I'll post out from here if necessary.

Not to my taste but I can see it'll look great on a T25. Good luck.

Wow, good work. The green looks cool too.

[meggles]
