Does anyone know if we can buy Silver Birch (used on Contessa's etc) in spray can version or in any other version?
Also, other than Minisport, does anyone know of someone who does the Mini Stripes i.e. LS and SS stripes etc

Cheers

careful - there were 2 silver birches, one up to '71-'72, and then it changed and became a bit greener. The one in the thread posted above is the early one

The alternative to getting it in a spray can is to buy a Prevel spray unit. They work very well. You only mix/thinn down what you need.

You can buy ready mixed cans that just need thinning down from MiniKing in Narellan NSW. But if you are interstate I'm not sure if it can be posted.

I bought a set of restored Cooper S wheels a few years back and when I put them on the car they never really looked right, they always looked too green for my liking, never realised there were two versions of the colour. Good to keep in mind.
