Hello All,

I am after some advice please, i am about to repaint some tinware on my 1953 ES2 and was wondering is there a modern day black paint match?

I was going to use a standard black gloss but i dont want it to look too different from the rest. Any help would be most usefull!

Thanks in advance

Alex,

Talk to Phil Allen at RS Bike Paint; you will find their details in the Services section of the web site. He told me that black is not necessarily black and that they have a number of different blacks for different effects.

I Live near Bedford and have used Nu-again many times, on many bikes, they are excellent!

It depends on how far away you live, but if you are able to pop in to their shop with a piece of tinware in the colour you want they will match it for you.
