Do you recall where you got it in the UK by any chance?  A Google search only seems to show "imported" prices...  

Amazon - £12.99

Hi Andrew, Lovely. That's the kind of finish to these RTRs I've been looking for. If I may can I ask what method you used to paint them. I brush painted mine very carefully (3 coats for teak panelled crimson and 4 for  steel panelled). I was happy with the finish but found the varnish seemed to leave it less smooth on close inspection, although the reflection on the sides gives a reasonable impression cleanish steel panelling when the coach is moving. Did you take your's apart and spray as was my initial thought? I was going to do that  but I just couldn't face all the masking off so many windows.(Laziness strikes again!)

 

Hi Steve. Thanks for that. I thought you probably used the original Klear. Your method certainly has put the icing on the cake.  I find that I get little particles appearing in the new formula. I wish I could get hold of some of the original but it's like going in search of the lost chord! I've used a different shade of red to you as mine is pre-1956 livery change.

You can get it now but it is in a different bottle and name, no yellowing etc and goes on like a dream. I visited little bytham and left with a small challenge from tony to weather my RTR A3 and a tip to get some Klear, spent ages researching and testing products (as a Yorkshireman i wasn’t paying to import the original from over seas). I then found this and it is the same formulae apparently.
