Sorry another English German question. paint.

What are you guys using for paint to touch up your old Celulose paint?

What do you ask for?

As I am looking to get some cans made up for touch ups.

But it looks like Celulose paint is either hard or impossible to get here.

This more of a translation and how do you manage question.

Thanks in advance.

could be tricky to get it in a paint shop in germany.
try to find a body painter to talk to about your problem.
very often they have other sources and are also still authorised to work with this kind of products.

you can try http://www.korrosionsschutz-depot.de/rostschutz-und…/kunstharzlack/ they gonna mix you every colour.
Kunstharzlack is a 1K Topcoat It is polishable but has no real UV /Birdshit resistance. that should be okay for touching up old paint.
You can also try n find somebody who sells MASON CT http://www.masonct.co.uk/Products/Pages/default.aspx which also is a 1K Product once British but now belonging to SIKKENS / Lesonal /AKZONobel

If you want something worse try to source some Cellulose paint from http://www.industrystock.de/html/Zellulose…de-66194-0.html but i doubt that you will be happy with that.

BTW which year was your Mini built that you are asking for Cellulose paint ?

Another Idea i had while taking a nap in the Office: visit your local Baumarkt / Bauhaus / Obi one with a decent DIY Paint Area. there you can get 1K Acryllic paint matched to your specific colourshade which would be also suitable.

The reason for asking about cellulose is that is what I painted it in 20 years ago.

Yep could go down the acrylic line but.... Ordering paint online is rather hard as it is not the original paint and I have no code to go by.

Luckily I will be back in the UK soon and I can get some cans made up. Just need to take part of the car so they can match it.

Cheers for the info it has just really confirmed what I thought.
