can get you solvent based 2k if thats what you need 

Hi, you might be interested to know that we had very good results repainting our series with white spirit-based paint that we bought from Bill, who runs http://www.paintman.co.uk.

It sprays very easily and isn't frighteningly toxic. But don't skimp on the undercoat.

Bill was very helpful and I think there's probably not much he doesn't know about painting Land Rovers.

Hope this helps!

dingbro do an enamel paint you just add fast flash thinners to just like cellulose to paint an leave to air dry has to be inside with some heat use this a lot to paint the spec lift and slide beds on my recovery trucks

thanks very much people i will give bill a shout.

theres a paintman in thornton,who supplies every kind of paint,and mixes it up while u wait too

OK all bodyshops these days have to use water bourne paints due to regulations changing.

  But a few companys still supply 2k basecoat. PP Paints is an english based company. Autoscot in paisley supply 2k basecoat but is now called industrial basecoat. Is a high solid instead of medium solid of days gone by. You just need to thin it a little more then 2:1. Like 2:1 + 20 - 30% extra thinners.

Also dingbro do a 2k commercial paint. Is only available in solid colours not mettalic. Again this is high solid so will just require a little more thinners.

My land rover is painted in standofleet. Which is the commercial paint supplied by dingbro. They do have a wider selection. But the standofleet was my choice. U-pol do a cheep paint also.
