So far so good! I believe Lechler Coatings to be basically a French company but have commenced discussion with stockists of their products in the UK to determine the current availability and prices of the paint and will keep the forum informed via this topic as further information comes to hand. Chris has mentioned that he intends to arrange re-publication of the information in a future edition of NCR. We are appreciative if Chris's help in this matter. Alwyn Global Mod.
Hi all,
I eventually received a response from Rotherham Refinishing Supplies (UK), stockists of Lechler Coatings, to my question regarding the paint colours - I did request colour formulations with a view to reproducing the correct colours here in Australia but unfortunately that aspect has not been addressed in the reply received which is quoted below...
Dear Alwyn - We are Lechler stockists and supply Extralucido at the time of this e mail, as you will be aware due to the VOC contents of paint this product will not be manufactured in the near future. The price of Extralucido is £17.72 per 1 ltr.
Aerosols are £7.98 per each. The above prices do not include a delivery and will be added on to any orders. Regards
Brian Harrison.
PS from January 2007 all products produced for topcoats will be water based and the formulations you require will probably have to be formulated in this product.if you require any more information please do not hesitate to contact me.
VOC is an acronym for
Volatile Organic Compound(s) which come under the control of certain emission control legislation in most countries including our own. Harrison has not said whether the remaining stock offered is available in the colours we Douglas enthusiasts wish to preserve - has anyone got a current repaint job for which they would be prepared to buy an aerosal can from Rotherham's - I'm sure given a sample, my Dulon (manufactured by PPG Industries in Victoria) stockist would match the colour perfectly as he did the Mist Green for my recent (relatively) BSA Bantam restoration.
