The brand was "U-Fix-It". You won't have a Canadian Tire near you :-) Go to a place that sells auto body stuff and look in the aisle where they have all the touch-up colours --- you'll probably find something. If not, regular spray paint (satin finish) will probably be fine. Just make sure your plastic is clean and dry before you paint it. Cheers, Doug Alcock '84 Westy Toronto, Canada |
