Okkher so wondering if there are still any of the original BMC mini colour paint tubes/vessels of any sort about. And if so where can they be found. I have a few small marks on the mini that are just annoying and a very small drop of paint would fix it. So im looking for some paint.
Reading from the label on the mini :
"BMC Automotive Finish-
Duracryl Acrylic Lacquer Berger-
Gambier Turquoise HK 5429"

So if there exists any Gambier turquoise paint anywhere? Can you please tell me where i can find some, or if anyone has any laying about that they no longer want, i might give you a small bit of $$ for it?
OK
thankyou.BYE

hey mate, just go down to your local paint
supplier (i use holden) and they will mix you up
some lovely gambia turquoise (a favourite
mini colour of mine btw) i use PPG and it is
usually available from holden spare parts
places

Go to any place that mixes auto paint and they will be able to mix it for you. Take all the info off the paint sticker with you.
Some places can even stick it in a spray can.

Dont forget to allow for 20-30 years of sun fade.....

so i find the paint place and he pulls out book and goes mixes it for me.
i get 250 ml for 20 bucks ?? no idea how much it was worth.
So i get home sit in magna flick lid off tin, and for some reason i take the hugest, bigger than normal breath, a huge sniff right over the top of the tin, and cheesecake off, i almost dies i could taste the paint for hours after

it was crazy i now know i should have listened to Chemistry teacher, " Never directly sniff a substance, always fan it towatds you, to avoid direct inhilation, " and a very wise statement,.

hmmm
tasty i want more
