Early parcel shelf

Post by IaininTenbury »

Anyone know a source of these or even just the material in the correct colour? Should be a light tan colour and appears to be only available in black.
Alternatively, any suggestions on what sort of paint to paint a black one tan?

Odd request I know, but I'd like it to be correct...
cheers

Have you tried Newton Commercial? They might be able to help.

Official answer is if you want any other colour than black, paint it...
Unless anyone knows different.

Same here, I'd like a tan coloured one for mine. Will let you know if I find any. As you asked, does anyone know what sort of paint to use if necessary?

I hear they are a 'beast' to fit!
