Hi
I am about to do a wee bit of DIY on my metal furniture and need silver metal paint and stoppers for the ends of the chairs and tables.
Does anyone know where I can get those in Alsancak please?
Many thanks
Cheers

You can buy spray paint in any colour from most hardware shops. Regarding the stoppers, if by that you mean the plastic feet on the bottom of each leg, I made my own. I used the white plastic tops from the 19 litre water bottles and a heat gun and warmed the plastic tops on to the bottom of the chair legs, them trimmed the plastic with a sharp knife while it was still warm. The plastic melts and assumes the outline of the metal leg. Apply plastic before painting.

Thanks for that - loving the vision of me with a heat gun and a supply of bottle tops
Sadly I never did get a Blue Peter badge.
But cheers anyway.

Cooking with gas now ! - got the paint , brushes & thinner so, all I need is the motivation and I'm sorted!
As is always the case here and believe me I am not in the slightest worried, the stoppers were in huge abundance apart from the size I needed. However, I am ever hopeful that the 'promised order' for next week will materialize!
I always was an optimist!
