Thats how the paint sprays out of the can. Here in the US the nearest equivalent is the Krylon Stone line. I used a different shade on a base once. Wild stuff, larger particle size and varying colors of pigment in one spray can.

That certainly looks the part! Quite a difference.

Finish Painting the Beast!
The machine was looking a bit the worse for wear after a year of handling, so today I repainted the thing!
I have a Kite mini spray gun fitted with a 0.4mm nozzle. Run at about 50 psi, 66/33/25 paint/hardener/thinners 2k mix. Airbrushes were designed for inks and thin lacquers and do not deliver (IMV) a thick enough mix to achieve good results. This paint touch dries in about 20 minutes!
I'll leave this lot for a couple of days to harden off completely before I remove the paint from the odd shiny bits! The paint job has certainly refreshed the beast!
