Title: Humbrol Enamel Number 30 Dark Green Matt Number 2 size tin
Post by: banjo on May 07, 2008, 03:53:33 pm

 :)
As well as an old boat, Smit Nederland, I acquired some aged tins of Humbrol Enamel.   I have used the reference colour for my deck.  It looks super... but will it last?

Comments please?

banjo,

I have some old Humbrol tins, as in over 10 years old and those that had not been opened were perfectly useable. No problems so far anyway, although I did have to thin down one or two.

It will last, but being matt it might mark easily.
Any doubt paint over with matt clear, either humbrol or Ronseal.
