Schipps

I can commend that Por15 stuff, just did touch ups for now on my old chassis and some bits look new.

Rebel1

I'm looking at a rotissery job when I return to rejuvinate my chassis. How do you brush this stuff on over multiple faces without getting run bleeds but still getting that self settling effect this paint seems to have?

Cheers

Stephen, I think the mistake many of us make is to try and make the newly painted coat perfect. What worked for me was to apply it really quickly and not worry about brush marks. It seemed to settle beautifully even on areas I thought were rat$hit.

Even if you do get some marks in the first coat they will settle with the second coat. Dont think you will get by with one heavy coat cuz it will run, but frankly, you've gotta apply a really heavy coat for it to run.

I found by the time I painted the suspension bits and pieces that I learned the knack to apply to larger areas like the chassis..

Congratulations Schipps,

Harrisons are becoming a force, the way they
are going, it won`t be too long before they will
out number the DRB`s up here.

Looks like your choice of motor is the go as well.

Good luck with the build.

Regards

Nick

Well done Schipps
Good to meet you on Saturday. I bet you have never looked in the rear veiw mirror so many times before than on the trip home.
I certainly think the Harrison is a good choice and it will be good to see your progress.
Bruce
