Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Just a quickie, please, lads; What specific type of paint / prep' might I use to get that Downing St look? This sort of shit: It'll be a black door, as it happens. I'm guessing oil based is a must? But, is there any special type to give that hard, mirror type finish, please? For a complete non painter Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
