Minimum of a gallon for them to do it or the flattener only comes in a gallon? You could just buy it and do it yourself. Posted: Fri 8:26 pm Post subject: Re: Best paint for seat frames/interior? It can be 1:1 for completely flat, with multiple coats needed to cover.īent cranks are silent but gather no moss. I bought a quart of their flattener for my fuel tank paint, and the amount you use depends on how flat you want it. It's a commercial fleet paint, and tough as nails.Ĭheck the distributors link to see who sells it. It's a single stage, and flattener is available.

I took the steering column tube to a local English Color, but the only paint they had available to color match with was a base/clear. I've already accepted that we'll never find the L471 Stone Beige formula and that having someone hand match a quality paint is my best option.
