Fucking paint

More delivered today and its bloody wrong again

Anybody want to do a quick blow over to the front and bottom half of my van??? (seriously)

Im going with savannah beige now i think,it was the colour it was supposedly in before TRI matched it as lada beige
They're both very very close colours but nobody can match any one of the 4 shades of lada beige that i have.
Savannah is one shade only and it will make it so much easier to get if i ever need to do any painting..

Anyone????

Windows done.

It is celly yes.
Ive done alright with the rollering thing but i just want it all in one effing colour now.
Ive got that many pots of lada beige now its unreal.
Some not matt enough,some slightly the wrong shade and some bloody miles off all ordered as 60% matt lada beige.

not tryin to funny here matey,but, with the amount youve got can YOU not MIX n match???

Its too many different shades i reckon to be right.plus if i ever need paint in an aerosol to get in awkward places,i couldnt get it.
I love the colour the right one is (what the fronts sprayed) and ive mixed before to get close.
I just want to be able to buy one paint code and it be as near as dammit.
Bloody TRI (our local suppliers) took my petrol flap originally,looked at the swatches and it seemed to match lada beige (didnt know about the savannah till later)
Bought a couple of cans from them,sprayed some on the van and you couldnt tell where i'd sprayed it..
They stopped doing celly ages ago now though

They wont mix matt aditive into anything.
Ive asked before and they said they can only mix the paint code and add nothing extra.
Plus i doubt they will have the 4 different shades of lada beige on their system..some big paint suppliers only list one shade,some do 2 shades and the one ive just used list 4 different shades...all because lada desided to slightly change the shade of the beige 4 times over 6 years
I still dont know which mine is

what you guna do with the sign riting mate ? leave them panals ? i would be seein if a could buy some soft edge maskin stuff and try some experiments . im sure the dude that did it could touch up bits you can get perfect .

also maybe look in to how much and electric spray gun would be . you can rent um . and if it would run from a genny . for the mat finish i would fink youd be fine .

good luck with it either way . ps if you got a place to do it im sure chicky would land the paint

Im leaving the top panels alone,im hoping the savannah will be near enough to the lada colour...after all its what tri matched it as so it cant be far off right

Cheers steve Thats the trouble mate,finding somewhere to do it with leccy
It wouldnt take long to do it i dont reckon..if i managed to roller it ok i reckon spraying it would be fucking easy

Dont you no anyone with a generator............if so ive got a small compressor.............do it in your lock up

Have you tried Middleton panels in Gloucester mate, they do celly and can match paint! I got a compresser and spray gun you can borrow if you have somwhere to spray it.

Cheers guys..
I may have to take someone up on the offer of lending me the gear..
Have to see if i can borrow works genny

Trouble with matching paint with middletons is i dont have anything to take off the van to match to..
The only bits i can take off are sprayed in the wrong shade and i cant get th evan there as it has no front windows or wheels at the moment

is the tail gate the rite colour ? if not you could wait till its on the road and take the bad boy over

Let me know when you need the kit mate, I will bring it ova and even give you a hand if you like!
