rayman Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hi Montza, i took the original undercoat back with a sander and painted it with about 7ltr of stonechip in total.Then overcoated with 2ltr of RAL5002 two pack paint.Plan is too paint body with candy blue and the RAL colour was the nearest i could find in a base colour .Hope this makes sense ....Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
