2k,celly went out with the ark.2:1 (paint:hardener) 10% thinners.best try a little google search in your area,hex holdings are a national brand but I don't rate them for regular buys,your best bet is to pop into a small distributor and have a good chat with them about what you want to achieve,better usually to leave it til after dinner as they usually have orders to get out before 11am and won't be very helpful.quick top tip as well,if the car your painting is yellow(only thought cos a lot of spitfires were) we often have to paint them White first as yellow for some reason provides very poor coverage and is a total bastard to match!!!!

don't buy it from the net. go to your local car paint shop, it may be a little bit more expensive but you can get the advice from them and you can also get the correct colour match.
