Ford Frozen white aparently replaces Diamond white,
looks a tad yellow due to the light.
was £28 for 1 litre , still got over 1/2 litre left as
it mixes 2:1 with hardener.

When I spray the next coat think I need to
add a tad more thinners as the fan wasn't
large enough and the paint didn't seem to
lay smooth enough.

well, going to the coast tomorrow afto, might be able to get back monday
if the missus don't mind me coming home and leaving her there, then
her dad can bring her back when they come back on Tuesday.
If so I can have monday and Tuesday on it.. :dozing:
Then do the red later in the week.. So it could be painted by next
weekend :D . Then rebuild........
