No spray tint from an aerosol can

What andyw was implying but too polite to say out right is that spray tint comes in aerosol cans,
as far as I'm aware you can't get it for an air gun
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Is tinting a colour not a completely different thing? I've never seen actual tint added to paint just other shades of paint to tint the colour,
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,

My tigra clocks arrived today so was straight on to changing them over, Rev counter is out slightly with car only being a 3cylinder but can live with that

Standard clocks
