TV Mask Paint
Hi all
I want to paint a couple of rubber masks on my Bush TVs, does anyone on the forum know the original colour Bush used and also what paint was used? I could try a plastic enhanced emu paint or an acrylic paint; I don't want to use ordinary emu paint as this will soon crack on an unstable substrate, and oil based paints are out as they will attack the rubber. Ideally I want to be able to spray the finish, any ideas anyone? regards Den Last edited by Mike Phelan; 18th Jun 2007 at 12:09 pm. Reason: Tidy up for archiving |

Hi Den try FROST at www.frost.co.uk they have all sorts of specialised rubberised paints and coatings mainly for the vintage car business but I guess something will probably be adaptable. HTH

Re: Tv Mask Paint
Hello Dennis,
I have just sprayed a TV62 with a water based paint obtained from Trago Mills. The brand name is called "Signature" and the colour name is "AYTHORPE". The wife and i spent a lot of time looking at the beige colours and came up with that one. Have attached a picture for you to look at. Hope this helps. Regards, Keith. |

Re: Tv Mask Paint
Hi Keith
Sorry for delay in replying as I was away, your resprayed mask looks really smart, how many coats did it need ? Do you think the paint will last a reasonable time ? What preparation did you carry out ? (i e was your old paint flaking?) Sorry for the inquisition !! regards den Last edited by Mike Phelan; 18th Jun 2007 at 12:11 pm. Reason: Tidy up for archiving |
