Tony - I use the 304 Equipment Enamel and get the lab to make the paint to a satin finish. I use the same series paint on my instrument panel restorations.

Protec Paint
Thanks Bob and Tony.
Yes Bob, most Perth restorers of MV's use Protec Paints for the very same reason. The Camo green is a great colour and 307 mixed as a satin is far better than the old lusterless green used years ago, doesn't mark if you touch it with a greasy finger, and the areosol cans are great for touch ups. I have taken painted nos Ferret parts to the Welshpool store and had 12 litres matched up. The store in Malaga offers the same service. Tony, Protec here in Perth match any colour in any amount and at under $40 for 4 litres of 304 equipment enamel. Maybe a sanctioned border raid is in order. Primer, Zinc Phosphate 363 Auto Acrylic modifided enamel, $$ Last edited by Wayne Henderson; 25-03-09 at 10:18.

Ahh, but I was thinking of the 342 series enamels. Low gloss and you can DIP IT in oil for 24hrs, and it won't show a mark!
As for primer, you can't go past their "Etch Pro"! Last edited by Tony Smith; 25-03-09 at 10:30.
