Ok cannot get the bolts out and summer is fading, sooo... I have decided to mask and paint within the frame.
Couple of questions: I'm going to use the VHT paints recommended earlier which come in 11oz rattle cans. 2 coats primer, 2 thin 1 medium colour coat and 2 topcoat. Any idea how many cans will be needed?? they say 12 square ft per can but I cannot relate this, and you can't beat someone elses experiences... They also do a cast iron colour (SP 997) which looks a pretty good match for the early rocker covers. I'm also going to spray the foothangers etc the same engine colour. The cans say it must be baked for 20mins at 93c to cure, but is this a good idea in a gas oven or would a good session with a heat gun do the job??
I was going to use thier strip fast but I can't imagine it would be good on the remaining plastic and rubber bits, and don't want to risk any soaking through the masking to the frame.....
