NickL2008 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hi Sean, Many thanks! off to Halfrods to hopefully get the colour I require! NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the penguin of doom Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Just realised though that there's no buffer beam red listed above, (unless my eyes deceive me). That said, anything with "signal red" or similar should do the trick I think..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickL2008 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Ive brought "Ford Carnival red" looked to be the right paint to my eye , its to spray the buffebeam of my Class 50 and other models NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickL2008 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Sadly the list didnt cover "bufferbeam red" , but I think ive found the shade, and will test it on something when I get home NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickL2008 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hi, Heres the results for using "Ford Carnival Red" for spraying, two Heljan Bufferbeams tryed and tested, one with prior priming (white) and one without. Must say I am convinced the shade looks ok apart from being too shiny but varnish will remove this and dull it down ... When I can next get to a Halfords I may look at other shades possibly NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
