Paint on eBay

Forums

Here's something you don't see very often - some 'Norton paint' on ebay!;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1LITRE-CAN-1955-NORTON-DOMINATOR-MOTORCYCLE-POLYCHROMATIC-GREY-EQUIVALENT-PAINT-/360868320181?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item54056d93b5

Looks like the paint is dated 2006 so I'm not sure I'd be ina hurry to use it, but the paint references might be useful?

MAJ Paints seem to still exist (in Sunderland).
