i was told in B&Q that most places have stopped selling the glass paint as it was very high in cfc's or whatever it is.
iv'e tried everywhere round sheffield and cant find none  :-\.
i was gonna go to a car paint factors and see if they could do me a tin of coloured lacquer to try.

Peter J:
I cannot find anywhere that sell's it either Dave so I think you are right  :daumenhoch:

Best one I've used is the Tamiya Clear Paints

http://www.modelsforsale.com/catalog/tamiyapaintcharts.php

Spray them will a "silver" paint first, Halfords do a pug aluminium that’s good. Yes I know the pedals are aluminium already but it gives a better key and a more uniformed colour.

Leave to dry somewhere warm

Spray on a few LIGHT coats of the Tamiya paint until you get the desired finish.

The Pins are pressed in and I've found it best to remove them with Fencing Pliers and Dordy's idea of cut up rivets is spot on

I've seen it somewhere but for the life of me I can't remember! There's a few old school hardware shops near me il pop in there and av a look!

Mdbh:
