wonder if theyre spray gun is different from mine, thinking back it may well have been the Rustbuster gun......
i found the thinning was critical, a tiny bit more thinners turned it from to thick to just right so be careful how much you add - also a full gun goes a very long way!
.....and make sure you have as much face protection on as possible, you really dont want to breath this stuff in, i thought i had enough protection but later that night my nostrils stuck together

Re: Locost ''Eleanor'' Rebuild
Struggling to remember Rich if I’m honest, I seem to remember thinking that I could probably do the whole chassis out of one can - is your gun the same size as mine?
Suggest you mix up just half to begin with, easier to mix up more than throw away over mixed paint!!

Re: Locost ''Eleanor'' Rebuild
Ha, that was the only one I let you use
I had the proper one for this paint, and that really over sprayed everything other than the kit too !!

Re: Locost ''Eleanor'' Rebuild
Whilst waiting for my paint for the chassis it was time to do some prep work on the scuttle and front bulkhead, which needed sanding back, must say the orbital sander makes this much easier.
The cleaned with spirit and powder coated, but which colour ?
