That was from Autosupplies in Bolsover, I'll send you a pic of the label if you like when I get home which gives the recipe. Made up 'while u wait'! This was the flexible PVC stuff which is designed for use on pliable surfaces. There isn't an endless choice of colours in that formulation, but this is closer than the one I originally chose which was a bit bronze on retrospect, though when I saw the swatches again after a year I can still see why i chose it.
After it had been painted for a few weeks I recently t-cut and wax-polished it.

Cheers - I showed Phill the pics just now, he said it looks good - is it a rattle can or
done with a paint sprayer and compressor?

No that was aerosol cans but they can mix up for a spray gun if it suits, I don't have any kit so I got cans. Bought 5 or 6 I think, but 4 might just have done both.

That looks very sharp indeed, great job Rich

Thanks Thomas, nice of you to say so. It's not a professional job but I'm pretty happy overall. And the fascia is straight now which was the original objective!

Do you mind posting the pic of the brand/colour you chose?
RE: VIN#6126 Chassis restoration - Rich Hanlon - 26 Mar 2023
Sure, no problem, I texted Claire the pics but here we go:

This was mixed to measure in a proper auto paints place not off the shelf.

Welp, new Bosch injectors (from Ebay), coupled with new seals and clip (From DGo) have fixed by difficult starting and lumpy cold idle issues. Much smoother and happier all round.
Managed to find the injectors from one of the places offering 15% off too so they worked out as just over £30 each, which was rahter a bargain. Well worth doing. :-)
