hey guys just a quickie, repainting my hood and need available paint in UK , looked at the spray paint thats used in US that beigns with K.... but what can i use? The paint on it now is black automotive acrylic ( spray ) so it needs to cover this ....help plzz ;);)
 
I would recommend sanding it down. That will make painting easier and you will be more satisfied with the final product. I know one good marine safe brand is kilz. I am pretty sure krylin is the paint you are referring to as well.
 
Kilz claim to fame was creating a latex based sealer/primer paint that covers and kilz mold on drywall and concrete products. Latex paint is water based not oil making it aquarium safe.

The probably the most popular brand for painting ornaments is Krylon Fusion.

With Worldwide shipping and internet access most things are easily available - you'd have to ask your postmaster for specifics.
