A local paint factor/supplier may be able to help. Plenty make up aerosols.

Some Halfords stock the U-Pol Acid-8 Etch Primer, if you ask them they may get some in for you, IIRC it was about 12-14 quid for a 1 litre aerosol. Failing that give U-Pol a call to find out where you can get it from

Try also models shops: many models are of brass, and acid etch paint is the only way to get ordinary paint to stick

Thumbs down

Wouldn't know personally, of course.

The tyre method carries the added problem that if caught, you're for the high jump

IIRC, someone was caught last year with the tyre and petrol, but BEFORE he did the deed, hiding near the camera. Police did him for reckless arson, and he got a year's imprisonment, first offence and everything. Attempted arson more like.........

Anyway, it's obvious that these people are desperate for the money, they'll go to ANY lengths to defend the scameras.

BTW: anyone know what that Scottish MP that actually did set fire to his hotel room got? Wanna bet he got let off?

It has its moments. Just a pity the policing of vandalism and anti-social crime isn't matching the conviction rate for some high-profile offenses.
