thanks very much, yes good old aerosol...gave it a good flat down then three coats of red plastic primer leave overnight flat down with 1200 wet & dry, 3 coats of the basecoat which i might add was mixed by a nice lady in halfords. (a lot of people slag off halfords in the uk but credit where its due) then three coats of laquer which i put on really wet almost to the point of running and must admit the colour match surprised me how close it was...
