A couple of paint chips on the reels, would like to fill and paint as I have plenty of time now, anyone say what spray paint would be a good match or is there a reel repair company that sells the correct one?

£150 per reel - look cool as in carpy green . . ! Wouldn't trust anyone other than the Germans to do a quality job!

How fussy are you going to be about the match?
I've had to raid the nail varnish Isle in super drug and mix a couple of colours to do minor repairs before now, a dark blue and an anthracite should get you close

It's a thick cellulose lacquer, I've mainly used it on kitchen doors/panels but it seems to last well

Try a model shop - the little pots of enamel paint come in just about every colour
I found a metalic black to match iso's
