A Bike is Born, Triumph Bonne frame coat

I saw the The Discovery series, A Bike is Born, with Mark Evans,
where he restores a Triumph Bonneville:

He brush painted the frame (I cannot afford powdercoating so I'll be doing
the same),
and he used some nice gloss enamel auto coat.
It was difficult to see on the can the brand of the paint he used, but it
was not Hammerite.
Was something that ended with "*ofte", I believe.

Does anyone have an idea which paint he used?

Thanks, Jan

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

x-posted to uk.d-i-y, since some very knowledgeable paint bods live
there.

Not Plastikote, is it?

 

Just what I was thinking. I remeber he used Plastikote on one of the
projects.

 

================
It might be 'Tekaloid' which is a good brushing car paint.

I know this bloke. If you want an email address ask me nicely and tell
me where to send it

 

Yes. A good brushing cellulose has the benefit that it may be sanded down
after it's hard to remove any brush marks and then compounded to the most
amazing shine.

 

Kindly request this email.

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't look like a plasti-kote can to me...

Jenolite? Maybe they make paints as well as rust cure.
