Can you get, mallard green in spray cans? Thinking of doing a pair of 2nd hand side lights in mallard to match the morretes. Would i need 2 cans one of paint and one of laquer?

Any good auto paint supplier can mix paint from the paint code or by looking at the car and matching it, then put the mixed paint into an aerosol can for you.

I must be thick but it never crossed my mind at all that you could get the paint put into a spray can. Obviously i knew you'd get basic red and black and white etc etc but didnt think they'd be able to do a specific colour shade for you as a one off.

Yep, its quite a cool idea isn't it.
When I hand over a camper that I have restored to the owner, I get a large spray can made up of the colour, or 2 colours and give it to the owner for touch ups etc. I always use 2K to spray the vans but the match for cellulose in the tins is perfect.

Not for long, 10 or 11 weeks to go ,

No , not possible, by definition 2K you would have to have an inbuilt system to deliver the hardner.

I spray using 2K but get a cellulose tin made up of the colour. With solid colours you don't need to apply a lacquer coat.
