Ok just nitromorsed a 10+ year old Marin, now I am going to treat it to a few under coats and a about 6 top coats, only decision is what spray paint would be suitable, ideally from B&Q?

It's for my wife so ideally pink or green or something a bit different. So any ideas on what [paint (type and brand)? Only one I have found was this

Why B and Q? If I was you, I would call in to my local automotive paint supplier and choose any colour from the rainbow you like. They will mix it and put it into an aerosol for around £12 per 500ml can.

Fair enough its B and Q then. The only problem with off the shelf aerosols is the opacity is usualy a little weak so you need to keep builing up the coats so it will cover.
