Which rattle can spray paint for series 2 frame?

Postby 507VBH » Tue Jan 19, 2016 8:01 am

Can anyone recommend a colour available in a large spray can that would be about right for a series 2 frame? Cheers!

Are you after an exact factory match ? If so these supply in rattle cans

Otherwise Alford's have a good choice of other colours

Thanks for the suggestions! Does the original frame colour (a sort of off-white) have a proper name or paint code? Thanks

Hi ,
A useful tip is to warm the can in a bucket of warm water before you spray. Also rattle can paint is not petrol resistant so look into petrol resistant lacquers .
