Tweed Grey paint

Post by coopertim »

Does anyone know how much is a fair price to pay for Tweed Grey cellulose or 2K paint, primer, thinners etc - enough to paint a mini inside and up to the roof? and any good suppliers. I'm after decent quality stuff but not top quality if you know what i mean.

Cheers. Tim

Tim call 01202 744244 SMC Autospares they will mix celly, and are resonable with paint and thinners.

Try Ken & Lynn on 01298 814813. Ken's cellulose paint is superb and he does all primers etc and 2K. Have used it on quite a few cars now. The top gloss thinners is also excellent.

IIRC the paint is around £25 per litre.

Very highly recommended.

Is there a difference between Mini GR4 Tweed Grey and Morris Minor GR4 Yukon Grey ?

I think Yukon Grey is a little darker than Tweed. Did BMC not use Yukon on the Elf's and Hornets?
