Halfords Car Paints
#1

They used be good, but now they are absolute crap !!

No strength any more, the paint just runs off the surface, I am told they changed supplier, but sadly for the worse.

That's really sad...

I still have a box of the good stuff, including the excellent plastic primer. Not a great selection of colours, but they will have to do.

I find Tamiya spray cans are good, but you get far less coverage for your cash.

It’s the first time for me for a long time, but I bought 3 coloured cans last week and they are all rubbish and the can plastic tops all break off when you try to remove them  Tappingfoot

I also see other people complained that the colours matches are not the same as previously.

The previous supplier was said to be Hycote, so I will look at buying these in future.

There are also some independent retailers in the UK which do also.

One of the lads at the club was telling me about paints he uses and a look at their website this morning sees a great variety at what I think is very reasonable prices

I've been buying Hycote rattle cans from my local motor factors for years.
