Hi there just wanted to ask how you have painted all the bits. what paint/equipment/technique do you use and do you have any tips as i'm gonna start rebuilding my series 3 soon.

oh yeah I almost forgot, great job it looks stunning!

with a brush ,

LMAO i never thought you could get such a good finish!

get yer self a tub bout 8 inch across and a min of 6 in deep , stand yer tin of paint in it, and fill round the outside with boiling hot water out the kettle, in a few mins the paint / enamell will be really hot, as you brush it on to the undercoat / red oxide primer, it will glaze over but not run as it also aids drying, its how the old coach builders did the final finish by hand,

yes a good quality brush helps too,

well due to getting involved in other work iv done nothing to the old series fer a few weeks, hoping to get back on to it next week, iv not given up with it just yet . more pics to come soon

Good to hear it!, keep up the good work! look forward to seeing your progress.
