Here you go ...........

I think these were 99p each from Focus DIY ( small sample pots ). If I remember rightly I bought 2 blue and 2 red.

I undercoated the whole thing beforehand with bog standard white undercoat for skirting boards.

just tried a small test patch (without undercoat) and it goes on pretty smooth and is just about dry already !

The red is acrylic so perhaps a cheap alternative to Citadels "blood red" ?

Speaking of cheaper alternatives, just ordered some acrylic sprays used on car plastic.
Nearly 3 times as much at half the price, I`ll let you know how they go on.
