I've recently got a Q200. It's not in the best state and has been left outside in the British rain for the last 15 years so is desperate for a coat of paint.
A lot of the existing paint has already flaked off so I think I'll get the lid soda blasted to strip it back to bare metal.
It seems Rust-oleum Ultra is the preferred paint on here but it's not easy to get in the UK.
I'd like to use a bright colour so looking for something with decent colour choices that will hold up to the heat.
I've been looking at the VHT Flame proof and the VHT Caliper. Both have a good range of colours but I'm leaning towards the caliper as it doesn't need a primer and can go straight on bare metal. The flame proof looks good but would need primer, base coat and lacquer at £15/can.
Does anyone have any experience of how the VHT paints hold up to the heat of a Q?
Cheers
