Pretty sure I only paid about £6 for my ID.

Humbrol matt spray varnish. Available at any model shop. Very tough. Very cheap.

I'll second that, that's what I use and it works a treat

How much? Is that for a special deck like bicycle ghosts? If you just want red or blue then you should be looking at £5-£7 I'd have thought.

AceT's right, Sam; £15 is way OTT for an ID - check out a quick search: http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?ourma ... %20bicycle

I'll third that. Hobbycraft stock it too, bound to be one near you unless you're in a backwater. The most commonly suggested is Testors Dullcote, though I've found this harder to find on the high street than Humbrol. Not a consideration if you're ordering online.

Word of caution, from my experience, the Humbrol seems to be a fair bit stronger than Testors - go very very lightly over it or you'll never separate the cards!

OK thanks guys last time i checked on dudethatscool it was like £15 im gonna get one in London in Feb anyway
thanks

£10 inc postage for me from amazon for red backed bikes, excellent quality. Thanks for the tip on humbrol matt varnish Tomo, time to implement THE PLAN *looks off into the distance*

nice was that an id or just regular bikes

ah, good point, shoulda been clearer. Yeah that's an ID. There's some really cheap ones on there too, but they're appalling quality apparently. With the one i got, the amount of roughing fluid is spot on and the deck its made from is a good'un, shame i can't remember the name of the seller!
