Help needed with paint guys.

[Charlie Smith 142]

Hello all,

With all this lovely weather recently I think it's about time I get some new paint on the old raider 10 I mean I'm not doing a full restore or something, I'd just like to tidy her up,

Now as we all know there is hundreds and thousands of pictures of wheel horses out there all different modifications shapes sizes and colours, I want to keep mine the traditional red and white, however in the pictures I've seen of the traditional ones, for the rims/wheels there is two different types, there is a cream/off White and there is just white, now what would you guys suggest? And where can I purchase some (United Kingdom) many thanks

Off white/cream is the correct color..  Here in the states I use Rustolium Linen, but I have no clue what you have available over there.  But the color was actually just how the rims came in from the supplier, hence the reason that most brands were the same color.  It was only JD that painted them themselves that god awful yellow.

Thanks guys, and ill have to agree with you there, why did they use such a ridiculous yellow,

Yellow looks good only when it's sunshine.

On their "thingy", in their yard. Not allowed on my property. Ugh, ugly! :smile:

Charlie, the closest UK match is land rover limestone, the colour used on the wheels.

We use international white, which is slightly more yellow, but less harsh than full on white.

I use Land Rover Limestone Charlie, look it up on ebay - its available to brush or spray.

Thank you everyone, does anybody know if any shops will stock this, landrover limestone, as I wouldn't know where to start looking,

Any automotive stockist should be able to help... Even halfrauds!
