Apparently painting over powder is okay, you just need to use acrylic paint. Good old celulose doesn't stick very well unless you use a special primer.

It does look stunning Chris.
You have your work cut out, but you must have known what was involved so fair play to you [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

Is the chassis alloy as well as the body ?
I wasn't sure from the thread.
Also, assuming it is an original chassis, is it a tennants, abbey, or what ?
And is it an original/old replacement (i.e. unnumbered) chassis, or a new copy ?

What's the history of the car / parts...

Can't wai for the next installment of pictures [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
