Oh, on the subject of painting .. I will get aroudn to it, but I will do it myself. £38 for 1/2 litre pack from RS Bikepaint and a mat'es compressor. Need thinners, etch primer etc but better than the £350 I got quoted!

I get car paint from several sources - a local car bodyshop suppliers in Hemel, but try www.paints4u.com - you'll need single pack paint, respective thinners and lacquer should come to about 30 quid all in, add another 18 if you need primer and thinners (different from the paints thinners)

Don't know what 'magical paint' you're getting, but 38 squidleys is rather a lot for 1/2 a litre, unless you're going down the colour-shifting paint route

Hope it helps
