SUNDAY 4TH MARCH 9-10AM
You guys will need to either get your paint codes to me or I can give you details of where to purchase your paint let me know
Garth you will need to see me beforehand so I can see if we need to re-prime your front bar or not

Sam you should only need about 1.5 litres to paint bonnet front bar and blend both guards
Depending on what brand you want to use will depend on price
Cheap product ie Concept approx $100
Top quality ie Glasurit approx $300

Guys a quick word of warning if I orginise your paint I will not be held responable for the colour match
If you go to a paint supplier they will be able to match it for you
If I purchase paint through work it will be Glasurit which is one of the most expensive brands you can get
Your call

I dont have a paint mixing system at home I would suggest
Prestige Paint Supplies 43 Beeston st Newstead {these guys looked after us with the discounted supplies for the panel day}
or Harts paint supplies Moss St Slacks Creek
or Brisbane Refinish Archerfield or Virginia
or The cheapest place will be Johns Paint Shed Lytonn Road Hemmant
You guys can purchase either acrylic or 2 pac for the beginer I would suggest acrylic and then move to 2 pac
Mitch I would suggest acrylic for yours so we can do a little blend get 250ml colour and 500ml clear I have thinners
Brett has his under control
Garth I would get 1litre of base coat colour and 1litre of base coat reducer I have clear at home
