Anyone know a source of suncorite?

[Claven2]

I know I can buy British Black in the USA which is supposedly the same stuff, but they don't ship it to Canada b/c it's aerosol and no dealers will mail it

Anyone know how else to get any?

Same question here folks!!! I'm in the US, and am interested in some of this paint too. Or an acceptable substitute.

TIA!

An accepted substitute is black barbecue paint. BDL has some available but will sell it ONLY if he does the application. It is VERY toxic and has to be applied under controlled conditions with protective clothing and gear in place.

Have you fellows tried BDL Ltd ? He is a banner advertiser here. There was also some talk about a new commercial equivalent at the paint stores. Maybe someone here remembers the name of it. I'm willing to bet BDL can take care of your needs though.

I have the paint on hand but I don't have it in large enough quantity to sell. I can offer the service too along with the prepaint Parkerizing but my paint booth is outdoors and it's too cold to paint at this time.

I've used the black and clear on bomb release units (Explosive release units)

Thanks! I've sent BDL an email.

Ive used Brownells arsonal baking laquer on small parts. Is the finish close to Suncorite?

I have a 1 litre tin( standard tin not aerosol ) of Suncorite 259, from looking at the warnings on the tin , it is indeed a bit more toxic than the average BBQ aerosol, there is an address and phone number on the label, but my tin is 10 years old and may not be current. am not sure if i should publish details as they may not be happy with a thousand or so calls from Enfield collectors. If anyone has any Sunkorite , after standig a while it settles into a VERY thick sludge at the bottom , stir well and carefully it also needs thinning to use in a spraygun.

1949 FAZ with South African ownership markings, paint came off with Kroil and pictured below q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol.

Its my understanding the South Africans were buying their paint straight from the Ishapore Rifle Factory.

Moral of story, if you’re a cheap bastard BBQ black is an acceptable substitute until it warms up in South Carolina.
