Re: My Portafold Restoration
Hi there I have just joined the portafold family ,I think you have done an amazing job , could I ask what type of paint you used as I will have to repaint mine when I have completed the repairs
Many thanks
Steve
Many thanks

Re: My Portafold Restoration
Hi! Thank you
It was car paint. My dad was a classic car restorer. I believe the manufacturer is Movac. The colours are Standard Triumph Wedgewood Blue (to match the car) and Land Rover Limestone (the creamy colour). It's lasted very well. We did one primer coat with standard cream primer, and then two coats of each top coat. That was quite a few years ago now and we've not had to redo it. The only issue is a couple of scuffs where the windows touch the walls when it's folded, but hardly noticeable.
