No, it's actual plastikote stuff, though I'm sure other makes are fine. (Sorry, I've been misspelling it with a 'c' )

Hmmm...
Bizarrely it looks like Homebase have a massive range of spray paints. I guess we can probably thank Linda Barker and Laurence LB for that

Thanks. I won't use Amazon these days, after the appalling way they treated Lisa when her account was hacked (from their end) so hoping we can turn up another alternative.bennyboy wrote:No, it's actual plastikote stuff, though I'm sure other makes are fine.

Looking on there it shows they do a range of metallic silvers (pewter, charcoal etc.) which would be great, but it gives no indication what the actual colour looks like (all have a brown cap )
Plasti-cote's site says B&Q sell their stuff, but I can't find it on B&Q's website (common theme here...)
Be good to hear how you get on at Wilkinson's, otherwise I guess I 'll have to have a trawl through homebase and B&Q tonight
EDIT:
Colour charts on plasti-cote's website;
http://www.plasti-kote.co.uk/Product/pc ... ode---3620
Think I would try pewter or charcoal (charcoal is a difficult one to work out - why is that one shown with a 'sheen' look while the other metallics aren't?)
Although it doesn't list plastic as a suitable surface
Maybe if used on top of this?

Halfords site was also a nightmare to work with, so I gave up
Just popped over to Homebase. They have a big range of the rustoleum stuff as well
While I was there I decided that the various silvers they have, were too light. So I left empty handed.
Then while I was driving home, I was looking round inside the car (traffic lights ) and decided that actually, maybe one of the silvers would be ok.
So I guess I'll go back and get some to try...
