Nope howcome?
Coming to the end now !
Due to the rough Galvanising had to paint Raptor on the cross member, as gloss would have looked terrible and I did not want to sand the galv or use body filler.
One wiring niggle to sort as retro fitting Heater plug timer relay( can't relay to shut off
) Had an issue with the heater motor had no power but sorted that today.
Last bits primed today top coat tomorrow.

How does the raptor look on the crossmember? I'm thinking the same for mine. Might look okay with a few coats if lucky thoughComing to the end now !

Could you have used black stone chip? I've used it to good effect on wing mirrors and an alloy spare wheel holder.How does the raptor look on the crossmember? I'm thinking the same for mine. Might look okay with a few coats if lucky though

Might work, it's just the texture of the galv isn't brilliant. Might try smooth it see what they bloke says when I get painted I suppose
Yes could have used stone chip. But have some Raptor left so might as well use it up.

I found the stone chip seems to fill small scratches and imperfections quite nicely and leaves a really nice finish. Don't think it would be as durable as raptor tho.

The Raptor looks great. I thought it might be more abrasive than it is.
Raptor bulkhead and the final painted panels !
Oh and the other bits look pretty good too.
Well the build is finished !
MOT next week couple of minor issues to sort stop lock needs adjusting, temp gauge not reading correctly, and the horn has stopped working today ( guess it is a Land Rover) Then going for Tonneau cover to be measured.
Interior not yet complete as waiting for carpet so held up.
I'm pleased with the resulting 90. Hope you all like it
