Yes! I have a place that will mix paint to match and put it in an aerosol but it is more expensive and normally leave the item and "come back tomorrow". No way do I like leaving an unobtainable part with anyone. I get the impression they don't really want to bother. Halfords is a smaller can but goes quite a long way and maybe its less hit and miss. The can colours in Halfords are spot on to how it comes out so that suits me.
I didn't quite get your idea of spraying with "Clear Gloss": surely if the finish is orange peel it will still grin through? So for me its the old fashioned way of flat and cut. To me this is a special radio and well worth the effort.
Well, so nice and sunny (no wind or even breeze) today I actually had a small bench and stool outside the garage and was cleaning the chassis top side with thinners ... Cant do that indoors, I get a moan even for titichy bits.
Cheers Gary
