Paint is maritime blue , it's a cabby colour I think. I used  a flg5 gun it's fairly cheap . Spray guns direct I got first one  a 1:4 tip for finishing and it's great have another one in 1:8 great for  primer. U can buy them in a set I heard ? 3 coats at a 2:1 mix of solid colour  5D095E91-89E4-473F-B52C-F134871E53F8.jpeg

LA5E is the code. There's a guy on YouTube he's very good he reckoned it was good quality paint. (Tony's refinishing) 👍🏻. Not plugging any these by the way😄

Im having trouble posting in (cabby gti) it seems to start a new thread when I try posting. It did the same when I tried posting pics of BBs wheels last time . Could a mod please sort out my mess and put those posts in (Cabby Gti ) as I'm too inept. Thanks

Howdy folks, could anybody tell me if I need this gizmo in my cabby ? I see there's a 2 pin connector on it but I've no idea what I'd plug it into IMG_0736.png
