Paint
Hi Rich
Orginally I had planned a different paint system but due to the lay up of over a year & a healty light coat of rust, I had to change tack a little Firstly, I cleaned the chassis the best I could ( Read, renoved the rust ) None of the metal was badly pitted & cleaned up quite well. I gave the chassis two heavy coats of Galvafroid ( Zinc primer ). This was applied with a roller & fine brush for the tight corners. This was overcoated with three light coats of Hammererite (Smooth ), applied by spray. I don't personally rate hammerite as a brushing paint but it will spray OK & at least I know that it is compatable with a Galvafriod basecoat. When I am ready & all is fully cured, I'll give the visible surfaces a final coat of a darker Red just to tone it down a little
