im just looking on paints4u.com and they have waterbased paint which i think is the base and clear you refering to, but its double the price to 1 litre of cellulose paint which is what i was gonna get.

is cellulose ok for my 1995 car anyone reckon ?

hi if you havent sprayed much i wouldnt get water base paint. you need to buy
the base colour you want and some lacquer and activator and some thinners.
dont buy cellulose as the match will be ****. base is about 22 quid L.
