Where to buy cellulose paint

[truckdoctor]

Hi all, does any one know a good supplier of cellulose paint? Iv'e used several suppliers for primer filler and thinners and the prices seem to vary considerably, and now find difficulty finding the correct shade blue and so far none of these suppliers have been able to help.
The colour required is very similar to the traffic sign colour, but am unable to find what it's called, any ideas please?

If you go somewhere that sells aerosol paint and find the colour you want then get the name or RAL code off the tin and take it somewhere that mixes paint. I get mine done at the local car spares where they will mix it and put it in an aerosol if you want. You can take them a part and get it matched if you can't find the details, we've done it with bike fairings and various other parts. They will mix as little as 125ml or a bucketful. There is a colour called Traffic Blue with the code RAL 5017. Monitors show different according to settings but it gives some idea of what you are looking for.

Hello Truckdoctor,

one company I've used that gives good service is http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Jawel-Paints?_rdc=1 What I don't know if they would be able to match your colour. There is another company I've used and the owner is very knowledgable, they don't have a web site but do mail order. Ken And Lyn, Buxton, Derbyshire 01298814813 07778165966 07779142188.

Good luck

Alec

Hex holdings are very good.

Thanks for the replies, Ken and Lyn are great to deal with and would recommend their services. Jawel paints seem well priced, but the idea of matching a colour to an aerosol tin is brilliant, why didn't i think of that, Doh.
