The Wooksta!

Don't trust the Hicote seller finder.  I went to one that didn't exist and a second that didn't stock it.  Best bet is to try any of the little automotive supply shops, they will likely stock it.  I tried two on the off chance (tbh, the first was as I needed a new hose for the compressor) and both had it in stock, albeit the smaller cans.

Yeah, I found that too Lee. Wishful thinking on their prat I reckon.

Luckily a local(-ish) car bits place is really good and has all the colours in most of the sizes.  :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

I did check, first by referencing the map on the Hycoat website against Google Maps, then I phoned them. Google Maps was a bit off with the location, easily sorted by talking to the small automotive company again. As I said earlier, they do stock paint, just not a lot of choice. I may look for other companies if I need to get anything other than what I already have.

DON'T get one of the cheapo primers from the likes of B&M, Home Bargains or Poundland.  I've had terrible issues with paint lifting due to it.

I ordered a can from Amazon yesterday when I got home Lee. Admittedly, I didn't say that it was Hycoat, but it was implied, as that was in the same post as I said I was looking for Hycoat.
