Re: My storm before paint
tip - don't use nitromors on abs panels if you are thinking of stripping the old paint.
- it melts them lol.
also on the pyramid belly - it will take the gel coat off and leave you with a floppy ball of wool!
don't ask
how come you want to spray it? is it that bad or is it just you fancy a new colour??
just done mine but it was fkt lol and got new panels from everywhere, all colours - nearly done
where did you get the sleeves from btw? i need some of those stainless rivet plates for one of mine - you know, the strip that holds it together.. my old cans are ok apart from the strip is mashed on one from when i dropped it.

Hi Benny
Paint on the right fairing is fkt as you can see, the other side is broken just got a black one, also fancy trying a custom spray job. Sleeves are from [urlhttp://www.pjengineering.co.uk/index.asp][/url] not sure if the rivet strap is listed on there but they do them cos I got 4 coming £3.50 each, give them a ring.

Hi
I tried ANR and had bit of trouble with them. Ordered parts then no communication emailed guy twice he got the butt with me and cancelled my order!!!!!!!!
PJ engineering was much more helpful.

Re: My storm before paint
Looking forward to seeing it when she is all done Matt, sounded good when we spoke about it the other week down at Tony's Workshop day.
