Well folks,
Got another MMS from Ade today, he's primed up the outer shell with high build primer, which he says he rubs down till baby smooth. He will also use normal primer on the interior and engine bay before the colour go's on.
Really chuffed with how its looking now, i'm like a kid at christmas!! lol

Well today I prepped the fuel tank, and used a fancy new contraption that Terri-ann found for me in Halfords for applying paint with aerosols.
It clips onto the top of most aerosols and allows you complete control of the can, much like using a professional spray gun. It defiantly made my life alot easier when spraying up the tank!

Here's the tank sanded down and wet/dried on both sides.

I painted one side, and then left it in the house to dry.

Dad then wanted to try out this new contraption, and he kindly painted the other side for me!
