Paint Job Done!

This is the finished product boys and girls. It doesn't look too bad actually. Ok - so close up and in the right light you can see some uneven coverage of the paint - but to be honest, the sparkly nature of the paint means that you really have to look damn hard! Here's a photo before applying decals and lacquer:



For those interested here's what I used:

• Halfords Grey Primer
• One can - 4 very light coats
  

• Plasti-Kote Metallic Blue
• One can - 5 very light coats

• Plasti-Kote Metallic Sealer
• One can - 2 light coats and one final heavy(ish) coat

Following all the guidelines on the various cans this was extremely easy to do - and what with modern paints being quick dry, it meant that I went from bare metal to finished product in the space of one weekend! Here's the end result:



All in all not too shabby! Meanwhile I've been ordering parts - stay tuned!
