#1 Spinners - Which black paint for the Jaguar name ?

Post by Nickleback » Fri Sep 30, 2016 5:18 pm

Just had my federal & eared spinners sets re-chromed and now need to re-do the black paint in the Jaguar name / logo.
Have done a search on the forum but cannot find any info
Does anyone know the correct black paint type used originally as it looks to be in-between gloss and matt, probably a type of enamel paint ? :scratchheadyellow:
Thanks

I use black Humberol gloss. Small tin used for Airfix models.

In June we left it that you weren't sure you were going to change? Am probably interested yes. I need a right side one that can be positioned to use from the LHD driver seat.
