Its a pity its not FL as the paint has come off mine. Its like the surface was never prepared for painting (etch primer or whatever) and the red paint just rubs off.

Try Humbro gloss enamel for touching it in, or a completely new colour.

you know you want to try it Neil. It's come on a long way since you were in shorts sticking airfix together. They do metalcote and metallic now that give plastics and wood quite a convincing finish, perfect for blinging the 8

I had to laugh at that as I was just rooting through a box of Humbrol paints left over from somewhere in the 20th Century to see if I had a matching red pot and, guess what! Humbrol "Bright Red 19" looks just the job!! and its still liquid!

Whats the cost of the FL one? If my painting skills are not that good I might consider a new one.

I need mine fixing too, but 30€ buys a lot of Humbrol enamel.
Goes off to check SWMBO's nail varnish collection.......................
