Hey doesn't anyone sell this now? It's acrylic..
I need a few cans to finish spraying my Contessas, but nobody around Blacktown seems to keep it any more. I've tried AutoPro, Auto One, Robbos, SuperCrap... :cry:
They are all stocking el cheapo Motogard now. Takes 24hrs to dry, and I can't put it over acrylic.

And not one of the bastards offered to get some in, either. :x

:idea: Might have to ping MiniK.... :?: :wink:

Yeah thanks, I'll check Repco.
Everybody has VHT paints, but now they are keeping only the VHT exhaust, VHT caliper and VHT engine paints. :cry:

AutoPro told me they don't stock it now because it's dearer than the Motorpro or Aust Export crap.
Once again, our freedom of choice is being eroded. people think all we are interested in is the price. "Tell 'em the price, Son!" :evil:

<edit> I've already PM'd MiniK... 8)

Motorpro is crap and they are assholes to deal with!

I was dealing with the NSW sales manager over an issue with my paint. They promised the world and delivered nothing! :x

Repco Dural has it I think Kev. I was there today.

VHT is a USA company that does make those paints, sure, but they make acrylics too.
I've painted my wheels with this stuff before, I just want to refinish them.
I've done 2 already.. only 6 more Contessas to go! :shock:
And I got no more friggin' paint!!!!!!!! :evil:

Update-
I finally found this paint at AutoBarn in Blacktown. So I bought all their shelf stock (4 cans..) 8)
I'm impressed with this new store, (in 3rd Ave, where Toolworks was) they have lotsa cool stuff in there. :wink:
