Without actually looking, I feel like warnex is a lot more expensive and in my experience not much if at all better.

It's twice the price in the UK. Denmark might be different.

Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Once you have, call him what you like, you're a mile away and you've got his shoes!

I just ordered mine directly from Aldcrofts. No issues whatsoever. Was delivered quick and it definitely wasn't lumpy. https://www.aldcrofts.com/product-page/c64-31-matt-black-speaker-paint

Same here in Denmark. But it works great. Worth every cent.

Reports (on this forum) are that there's not much difference between Tuff Cab and Warnex. What exactly makes it worth twice the price for you?

Finish, durability, ease of use, availability and no need to search for it. Plenty of places to buy it.

I've used both. Warnex needed less coats for a good finish. I just placed an order with Aldcrofts. Need to get some cabs painted before the temperature drops any further.

Well, this is somewhat less simple than I'd initially thought. I ordered the paint a week ago. Immediate response saying my order has been registered, they'd email when shipping. Since then nothing. Tried calling on both supplied numbers which weren't working/connecting and the supplied email address has returned my mail. I'm going to call my card company for a chargeback and order some expensive German paint. Pretty disappointed. Dunno how any of you have got on with them but the lack of contacts is just a massive red flag and I don't feel like I've got a choice. I would have much preferred buying paint which I've had good results with before from less than 25 miles away but...  Any one got any feedback on the curing of Warnex at low temperatures? Does it cure properly?

I'm reluctant to spend money with a company that ignores emails and whose phone is continually out of order. Penn and Lean Business are now selling Tuff Cab-style paint. Their prices are higher than Blue Aran's but still much lower than Warnex. No feedback on either of those two options though.

And that's why I use Warnex. No BS with dealers or anything. Just a quick order and a couple of days later you good to go.
Regarding curing.. have never used it below 18 degrees Celsius. But it cures up fine. |

I've just ordered a couple of litres of the Penn textured paint to try it. I'll report back.
