Looking great Nino, as usual. When you get the paint supplier to match the cabinet color and finish, how much paint do you buy and what type is it ?

Thanks for the kind words.

I use Automotive Acrylics in a "Protech" can as supplied by "Paintmobile" in Preston Victoria. Usually, 2 litres is enough for the base - 4 coats. There's always leftovers. 500ML for each of the colours, but in this case, the red is an EXACT match for Sky Jump - so I bought 1 Litre and it has painted the JP and 2 X Sky Jumps.

The "brand" - "Protech" - I don't know if it is common or not. My late Father has been buying paint from "Paint Mobile" since they first started in Preston. Decades ago ! So I KNOW this paint is always excellent in finish and I KNOW how to use it to achieve results. I use methods handed down, and this system works well for me. No trade secrets - so happy to answer questions. I have sent a few restorers down there to mix paint and they have had success with their repaints.
