the paint on that exhaust will last for at least 10minutes before it goes white and crusty 😀

but it should help it go at least 10beers faster than before :P

with that paint the hot tip is to usually run the engine a little to let it cure ........ try to avoid geting it too hot... do it a coupla times and it should apparently last longer

Akean I was just about to write and ask how this was going! W-lid looks good and the colour should be pretty eye-catching as well. I still say this car is going to confuse many people though :thumb

cheers🙂 progress is ok, im using aerosol paint, and the colour im using is out of stock! the right hand side and front (all nicely cut out of the pic) are still in need of painting. if anyone comes accross a shop selling BELTON MOLOTOW paint in "anthricite grey" please let me know, i need about another 6 cans. im also wandering if you can get new rubber for the old popes noses?

the cans im using are really good, had a bit of trouble getting the roof even (would have been easy if i could roll it on its side) im gonna leave the ruff finish for a while, then get the shine out of it later on. ive had enough sanding for a while
