Colours and finish info....



All finishing work is done exclusively in nitro cellulose paints and lacquers with appropriate primer/sealer coats. We are often asked for "colour under" base coats and "underbursts", which, when the topcoat wears through will be revealed. Any of our colours can be applied as a base coat, with popular choices being desert sand, sunbursts and Fiesta or Dakota red, with Inca silver and Shoreline gold working well under tinted and metallic top coats.....feel free to choose your favourite.
