    You need a product by 3M called Body Gard. It is a rubberised finish like the OE finish and is over paintable. Can't find it on Fleabay but most good motorfactors should sell it

    I've had a look around can't find much out. I've put them all up for sale now though and going to buy something else instead to be sure

    Very good thanks, a few things I already know but a few I didn't like - Stripe coating - very useful.

    Hi all it feels like a long time since I have been on here, I still have this project and its basically the same as it is in the last pic
    I have been buying things still for it though and am really itching to crack on again. I am busy re-spraying a transporter / camper and also a fully sandblasted and red oxide'd mgb gt fixed roof is being restored at our work, but still I am going to get the sandblasting to underside, engine bay and inside floor pan then whole thing into some special primer so some proper updates to follow soon.

    Hi all I have had the nova underside, engine bay and inside floor pan sandblasted and then red oxide'd to keep rust from forming while I carry out more work. will get the pictures when I'm back at work. so next on the list is sorting shell out for primer's ie area's that have been welded. My lass has given me Saturdays where I'm aloud to work on nova woop woop so should be getting cracking in next few weeks (it's about time like ).
