Anybody use a Halfords All Season Car Cover? - ZRoadster.org
...The Halfords one ticks a lot of boxes but especially the fleecy inner. Hopefully with the XS size it will limit lot sof movement in the wind which -with dust and grit, can marr the paintwork. I miss my garage! Good stuff and entirely agree, cheap and useful for emergencies, but take it off afterwards. Car port for the win! This is the one I built....

Paint advice please - New Railway Modellers Forums
...I usually use a spray can of Halfords car primer for this. The colour of primer I choose depends on the final colour of what I am painting but for scenic work plain white usually works best. The Tamiya and Citadel (available through Games Workshop) range of acrylics are excellent and I can highly recommend them, particularly for scenic work....

Points problem after ballasting - New Railway Modellers Forums
...Problem solved!! Apart from one small section of one set of points, your solution worked well. Thank you to both. glad to have helped BTW I bought the 1200 grit paper from Toolstation. It's much cheaper than Halfords (£2.60 for 10 sheet vs £2.99 for 4 sheets). I use Toolstation for most of my DIY-type purchases due to the very good prices. Don't have a Toolstation so postage, Halfords next ......

Dean Sidings "Killin Pug" conversion set. - New Railway Modellers
...Took the Caledonian 123 tender to Halfords and spent some time going through their paints. Well, at the time to my eye Ford Balliol Blue seemed the nearest. Someone mentioned earlier that they thought the dark blue was Oxford Blue, and as Balliol Colledge is part of Oxford University I suppose this is Fords answer to Oxford Blue ?...
