I am planning to repaint my Series 3. I have a compressor and spray gun so that is the way I intend to go.
Choosing the paint has me confused. Tractol 'single pack enamel' costs £30 fo 5 litres here whereas 5L. of 'synthetic coach and machinery enamel' from these people costs £120. It seems to be the same stuff so why so much more expensive - what am I missing? And the Paintman firm which I have seen recommended on this forum charges £100 for 5L. of traditional single part Synthetic Coach Enamel paint.
Normally I find if I buy a cheap tool I soon find out why it was cheap. So I wonder whether anybody can tell me whether I would regret going for the Tractol enamel?
