Metalmoore Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I got my paint from [url="http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/"]Manchester Guitar Tech[/url] for 15 quid a can and 5 quid for P&P per overall order. Havn't used it yet but should do in the next few day's and i will let you know how it is. Some nice colours but not a massive choice, I'm going for daphne blue. Good luck with your project. Quote
