    Race Retro

    Hi fellas
    Anyone going to the show today?
    I went on Friday. Better than usual with some lovely cars and interesting new products. One of which I need some help. Restom paints/coatings. I bought some clever epoxy paint for the inside of engines. Sheds oil faster etc. Problem is all the instructions are in French. No translation online. The website is totally in French and it doesn't seem to have the engine paint on there. It's a three tin kit. Paint, harder and thinner I presume. What ratio would be nice to know!

    Cheers
    Rob..

      Seen it before in this video



      Sorry, couldn't help with the instructions, I could only find French stuff but even when translated there were no mixing ratios.

        How mental. I'll have to email the French to get me the uk agent.
        I'll start with "why do think I'm ringing you idiot."

          I don't know if this helps but I've recently painted my kit car chassis in epoxy mastic paint.
          1 tin of paint, 1 tin of hardener. 50/50 ratio.
          Thin it down as per your application method. (Brush or spray)

          This was the stuff I used.

            Hi Matt
            Good stuff that. I use gallons of it at work.
            I'm going to mix it 1 to 1 and see how it hardens.

              Epoxy paints normally come with the correct amount of hardener.

                  I'll take its picture and you can tell me which one is harder or thinner.
