Hi there,
I'm having a little trouble finding paint supply of acrylic dulon, does anyone have any recommendations for ordering and will need to be freighted to Orange NSW?

I bought some acrylic dulon locally only 10 years ago and was no trouble what so ever.

Dulon was Dulux paints name for acrylic lacquer.
And other brands were used too.
Does it have to be Dulux? I've used Concept Paints in both acrylic and 2 pack, from VG Auto Paints in Girraween.
Getting 1970 Jet Red was no problem, I'd be surprised if they can't supply Crystal White. It's a very common colour.

Agree with drmini.
I have had Crystal White acrylic (nitrocellulose lacquer) paint mixed by a local old school paint shop here in Brisbane a few times over the last 20 years. I have my original paint stickers which show Dulon E Type Acrylic Lacquer Crystal White 566-11572 a Balm Paints Product. The paint shop has many of the original BMC/Dulux colour cards and they have used the code to mix the required colour. They also have mixed paint to match existing painted surfaces.
They sell Concept Paints. I did use Dulux Dulon in the mid 1990, at a premium price, haven't been disappointed by the Concept Acrylic I've used lately.
Hope you find a local supplier.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback, sounds like concept paints is a good option. I have found some dulon crystal white available from heartland parts in black town.

Don't know how you are going with sourcing Dulon Acrylic lacquer, but some thoughts if it's any help...
some Holden dealers' parts departments were Dulux paint outlets like Suttons and McGraths.
Some Dulux industrial lines seem to have been taken over by PPG who also took over and market Protec paints:

PPG should have a formula for Crystal White as others on Ausmini have also bought from them.
I don't know whether it is still the old Dulon or a new version. The original Dulon was a great product and very easy to use by amateurs.
