sierraman Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 400ml Red Oxide aerosols in at the moment at Lidl £2.49. Also filler primer, zinc exhaust paint and matt black paint. Looks good quality stuff! brickwall, skattrd, stephen01 and 4 others 7
scaryoldcortina Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Off to lidl this afternoon! The tins of Bauer metal paint and thinners are also good when they have them.
oldcars Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 If anyone pops to Lidl could they check if there is any plastic primer in please?
skattrd Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I may have to check this out as it appears the Umm is painted in red oxide, so a tenner could give it a full respray Cavcraft 1
auldford Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Nice I might try and pick a few of these up tomorrow.
sierraman Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 I've had a go with the red oxide and I can happily report it's top stuff. Goes on beautiful, unlike the stuff in a tin. I'll report back as to how well it does, ditto the filler primer...
burraston2006 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Had a go with the grey colour. Saiid silver grey on the tin. I can confirm that it does not colour match Mercedes silver! At a distance it would fool a blind man but not close up i.e closer than 50 feet!!
garbaldy Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I still haven't finished the last tin I inherited, don't think it has any lead in it but I can tell you it doesn't burn. brickwall 1
scaryoldcortina Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 fuck me, you don't even want to be warming that up, let alone trying to burn it! Might be lead free, but zinc chromate isn't a walk in the park either. Sigmund Fraud 1
fordperv Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Oooh what's the deal with the pinto cylinder head in the background of that picture looks to have a nicely sized valve on the inlet side
richardmorris Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I suspect that the red oxide is actually red lead oxide. I've just been testing some paint from oil rigs- guaranteed not to burn, but the red paint is full of lead, and the yellow paint chromium.
Tamworthbay Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Just been down for some filler primer but sadly they didn't have any. They did have some stone chip though and it seems decent stuff.
2MB Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Just bought some matt black, no immediate need for it but the way I operate probably means I'll buy a car that requires it.At that price it's worth buying just in case brickwall 1
gm Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 twenty quid well spent - the vin was pretty decent too oldcars and brickwall 2
Tamworthbay Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I don't normally use Lidl so don't know how they work. Will they have this for. While or is it a case of when it's gone it's gone? Just wondering whether it's worth another trip to see if they have more of the stuff I need.
stripped fred Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 They won't have it for long so stock up now. I've just bought matt black, red oxide and 2 x underbody sealant for £10 total.
theshadow Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 i use the undersealantbuyseems good stuff,just drips a bit,just bought the last 10 tins.
Tamworthbay Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Just been back but not much left, wish I got more last time now. Wonder which lucky beggar in Tamworth got all the filler primer.
