Great paint good delivery.

Advantages: I’ve used paragon paints before and really like it. Thinned slightly and a hogs hair brush gives a great finish, not as good a spraying but close.

Nice n' easy brushing enamel, Use best bristle brush available as this paint will drag if overbrushed or overworked as it starts to film within a few seconds, so get your finish on soon as possible. Next day dry enough to assemble parts but probably needs a week to cure properly.

Advantages: Brushed paint smooths out quickly. Dries very hard.

Disadvantages: Overbrushed work leaves bad brush marks.

Myford grey gloss paint. Initially thought a wee bit expensive. However on using the paint became obvious this was good quality product. Easy to apply. A good dense paint with good pigment. Covered entire lathe cabinet in one coat. (Was originally blue colour). Finished when dry lo to a hard shiny finish.
Does exactly what it says on the tin. 10/10.

Advantages: See above. Good quality, High pigment paint. Excellent coverage. Good hard shiny finish.

Disadvantages: None.

I initially bought the gloss paint but after a painting quite a few of the components I decided it was just too glossy for a lathe. I then purchased the Satin version thinking that would be more like the original - the colour difference between the 2 was quite distinct with the gloss being much darker and the satin with more of a brown / green (yes both stirred very well!). Both paints in isolation would work well, the fact that i had them side by side makes the colour difference stand out - neither really match the original but i guess that is 40 years old. In the end i decided the Satin was too matt and have settled for a 50:50 mix of both - very nice....
