Has anyone bought 2k paint from Tinternet? As I am unfamiliar with good brands and not so good brands of paint, I just a bit of advice before jumping in. Seems a lot cheaper than buying from a paint shop but is it any good.

I've bought rattle cans from these guys a couple of times and the paint was a great colour match.

Not sure if they do what you're after but worth an email. They're in Enniskillen too so postage shouldn't be as bad as from GB.

Try your local body shop, they may have a mixing scheme or,tell you of a local supplier.

Seen 7.5ltrs for £79. On the bay, colour of your choice. I can get it from a supplier to the trade, friend of a cousin, but the bay price seems really good.

Maybe there's a reason why it's cheap, all paint ain't the same.

Are you lads painting this stuff on yourself or getting someone to do it in a booth etc? Don't wantto sound soft, but 2K paint is no good for the lungs. Or, am I mixing that up with something else?

No your rite 2k is no good for the lungs but when I sprayed mine I done it outside and with a very good mask on best I could do.

I've only sprayed 2K lacquer on single panels so no long exposure but even with a good 3M mask I wasn't happy about it. The hardener is basically super glue so the thought of getting that in yer lungs doesn't bare thinking about.

2k paint is lethal but used correctly isn't an issue. I have a air fed mask run off a second compressor which is in another shed. I also have a fan from a bouncy castle which I will use as an extractor.

You should be able to spray a bloody bus with 5 litres of 2k paint.

I got a 2.5l kit from here - https://www.jawel.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=177&zenid=ln64m8601d7n2283b6bo20nh73

Best thing is its Non-Isocyanate so less likely to kill you.

I also got a 6l kit of high build and i cant recommend it enough, a lot of build and can be wet sand after 3 hours ( worth double checking the spec sheet though)
