Luminous Pirks

[MikeR]

Following on from my earlier post about the best rig for the end of March and all the other talk of pirks, does anyone know where to order (online) some good highly luminous paint, tape etc which I can apply to a chrome pirk and then varnish? Not bothered if it only lasts for the 1 session.

I have looked but drawn a blank (and I\'m not prepared to pay the best part of £50 for a one off roll of tape!).

Alternatively if anyone knows where I can buy (mailorder) luminous torpedo pirks that would be handy.

Cheers

Phoned one supplier in Newcastle Fossway and they wanted 53 quid for 2 and a half litres for the dayglo is that about correct or is there cheaper out there

John,

I got about 7or 8 tins ( 500ml ) for about £43-00 . The luminous was about £7-00 I think . It will last forever .

That was too dear imo mate . Further , the only colours that came out tops were the orange , yellow , and luminous .

Thanks for the info guys,how much postage do they charge Mike and Dave thats a lot cheaper than Ive been quoted.

[MikeR]

HOW MUCH!!!!

Bloody hell. Just checked John. Their standard delivery cost (including 1 small can) is £10 + VAT! For that I\'d want a Police escort on the bloody stuff.

At least you get an idea of what you can get the paint for. Won\'t be buying from them though!

[DaveMason]

John,

Tell me what colours you want and I\'ll get a price . Hope she charged me the right price last time !!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good feature on Luminous Pirks in the new Total Sea Fishing - Pitty they don\'t give suppliers details though - wouldn\'t mind trying some of those out !

[KeithB]

Dave, are you sure about those prices? last time i rang that local supplier they quoted in the region of £40 for 500ml of luminous paint?

I\'m pretty sure a \"work colleague\" paid almost that for a tin!

There was also a tin of varnish in there Keith and I think the delivery was a tenner which pushed the bill up to around the 40 quid mark.

I\'ll give it credit it is definately luminous. I tried it on a red pirk which wasn\'t the best of results. Will have to just use a white basecoat then the lumnous and then the varnish.

Got the paint from NWE paints.
