    Anyone know of a company that can supply paint to match our bikes in rattle cans ?
    I've had a quote of £31 for a single 400ml can from RS Paints and the same again for a can of lacquer :dizzy:

    Thanks in advance.

    TBB.

    Thanks one and all for all of your input.
    I'm looking for Forest Green so I've emailed a couple of your suggestions with the paint code, so fingers crossed.

    Cheers,

    TBB.

    I took a panel off my Thrux to LE Went and they matched 3 colours so I could spray my helmet ( no sniggering at the back)

    That's one fine job, especially on the helmet! I've been thinking of doing this, but have been dismal on anything paint related.

    Now that's an idea, the vinyl tape. I think even I should be able to pull that off! Maybe....

    UPDATE.

    After Steve's ( Crispey ) recommendation I contacted L.E.Went Ltd @ New Malden regarding the paint I was looking for.

    Well what a company, super helpful, and very accommodating.
    They normally mix the paint and put it in aerosol cans prior to you arriving to collect if you are an account holder.
    As I'm not, and it's very difficult for me to get there due to circumstances at home, they mixed the paint as required and delivered it the very next day free of charge.
    Again as I'm not an account holder they can't take payment over the phone for obvious reasons, so they gave me the option of COD or payment via card once the driver had arrived and seen proof of identity.
    Exceptional customer service par excellence.

    Brian.

    The wonky vinyl on the mudguard but on the whole the colour scheme looks good.
