Ref Paint:
2 pack or cellulose?
Last car i painted from bare metal was my 911 in Champagne yellow cellulose, and i intend to re-do it in the next year.
Hope i can still do it!

I'm pretty sure it's going to be 2pack but a solid colour as opposed to base and topcoat
The simple things you see are all complicated

2 Pack Mark, cellulose won't last with you using it all year round.

Sorry should have made that clearer - cellulose isn't on the menu - it's 2pack but the choice was between solid colour or base and clear

Mark what a fantastic project. Just spend that last hour catching up on the great work you have been doing. You put me to shame, what with me having the longest engine re-build in history...
Keep the faith and enjoy CLM '14 and I look forward to seeing you in August

I think you should take Peters offer up and ask kindly for the use of his Tractor for CLM.
Give me a shout Mark if you need extra hands any time.

Keep at it Mark, this is one of my favourite threads, although I hang my head in shame at my relative lack of progress/skills.
That is a wonderful offer from petric, what a great group of folk on here!
