    Paint for Bell Target

    I have managed to find a Bell Target so when it gets here from Red Rob we are ready to "give it a go".

    Now I need to buy some suitable paint.

    Can anyone advise where I can buy this non drying paint ( preferably from a B&Q or other easy to find store) and what to ask for.

    Thanks!

    I think City Air Weapons in Solihull sell the paint as well as their league style targets, the owner is a league shooter.

    You can also use Titanium dioxide powder mixed with veg oil.......use a blender to get smooth, but a very reliable and bright effect which works well.

    Titanium dioxide is the base for all paints.
    Easily available from a paint salter or on . http://www./itm/370295264078?ssPageN...84.m1438.l2649
    A litte goes a long long way.
    Mix with a oil into a stiff paste. We have fround liquid parafin the best.
    Some oils like olive or veg can colour it on to the yellow side.
