Need help shipping paint

[Time2Fly]

I'm trying to get a single can of Hethel Yellow spray paint from the UK to the US. Can anyone here help? I know it's going to be slow, expensive, and complicated but I can't buy it here so shipping is the only option.

Wouldn't it be easier to just match the paint code?

I have the paint code. No one here that I've contacted has the formula. It's S201 but they say that doesn't help.

I have now. I'll let you know.

You could ask your local Lotus dealer who they use for paint work. Very few dealers will do it in-house and whichever paintshop they use will have access to the Lotus paint codes and formulations.

A local PPG shop was available to mix some, so if anyone in Denver wants any, I have extra.

I just wanted to paint my model the way I intend to finish my Emira. The idea came from @Eagle7 but it's awesome so I'm doing it.

I'd recommend keeping the mirror on, otherwise it could get tricky when changing lanes

The one came off when I was just handling it, and the other when I removed the masking tape. Die cast model and plastic mirrors. The windows are just very thin plastic like Ferrero Rocher lids stuck on with magazine adhesive.

I've one myself and also broke both mirrors clean off in a matter of minutes
