Paint supplier

Anyone know of a motor factors that could supply me a small amount of a DuPont paint? the code is BED1497 and is for my Triumph.

I am also looking out for a good, but cheap, small gravity spray gun. Never seem to be any second hand on e-bay. I also need a regulator/water trap suitable for spraying also. I have always been crap at painting but really want to learn to paint :shock: It's the part I always have to 'sub-out'

A good gun will cost a fair wedge. I've just painted a restored tractor for my dad with a cheap siphon gun from machine mart and got a much better finish than they ever left the factory with. I'm going to try one of the gravity fed HVLP guns when I do one of the bikes later this summer.
And watch that 2 pack paint. Without the right mask (air fed) the isocyantes in the paint willl screw you up big time

I've heard about the 2 pack paint; Jack who created that wonderful café racer is going to be my mentor, so he will ensure I do all the right stuff :D
