I had the Primrose Yellow one resprayed in 2015 but I won't get those rates again! James

Paint has a short shelf life, so it's not worth stockpiling it I'm afraid James.

PPG was the original supplier of this type of paint, but as Rick will attest, others will closely replicate the finish.

It should be noted that PPG operate some strange "closed" colour codes, PPG 73219 is the code for the red paint used on my tool box, but you cannot get it mixed, and the formulation will not be released.
