I have and old digger that I am restoring and want to repaint and am wondering what paint to use for the final coat.
Largely there isn't much rust over the bulk of the area, the paints just very dull and marked where the decals have failed. There are some patches of rust breaking out, so my plan in to de-rust the areas there are with a angle grinder and or needle scaler, prime them with a suitable primer, and then repaint the lot with something that will hopefully hold its colour fairly well.
The colour is quite important and originally it was I think Woolworth's 'poppy red' from back in the day, I really have anything to match it to, but I would like to get as close as I reasonably can.
Not overly fussed on price, but if I can pick it up locally before the weekend that would be mild a bonus
Cheers, Daniel
