As for the white and charcoal i cheated and went pure white and black, they look pretty good together. The price for colour matching 2 pack was 3x the price!!!! About $100 AUD for plain colours about $150 AUD for colour matching. Equipment enamel is about $45 AUD.You are spot on with the reducer, i always used standard general purpose thinners and got the dusty look, I just had to move faster and it would be good but I'd never get the *shine*. I recently started to use proper reducer that retards the time it takes for the paint to flash, it worked a treat. I just painted the chassis for my 751 and it has a nice shine to it with equipment enamel. The temperatures are quite low here still, so that helps slow it down as well. I may need to do the same when i use 2 pack on my 763 when i get to it, no doubt it will be mid summer when i get to that one....If you are ever in doubt talk to the paint store, they will match reducer to the paint and conditions you are working in. If you take the time and use the rite stuff you will get a much better result, i can personally relate to this!</blockquote>
