That's my sense of humour!!!

 

Your axle does look good, is it 2K paint that you have used?

[J2S 129]

Heat proof ready mix 

I stripped to bare metal rust killer  then epoxy flatted top coat ,I've got stuff I painted years ago still look shiny that's why I still use it

Could you give us the name of this paint and is it brushable or just sprayed on ?

Evilbay 

I got 2.5 ltrs for £ 40 to my door 

Covers very well I'd use a bigger gun setup 

For it I use 1.8 ,you can brush it on but I never have so don't know if it flows out like old style coach paint 

[J2S 129]

Abit more done 

Had it acid dipped then nylon wheel ,epoxy ,2k high build flatted to 400 

Got all the nuts bolts washers any thing metal catches ect of being zinc coated 

[J2S 129]

Well had a couple of days free before the next load of Jap always a hard colour 

People carriers roll in so as of yesterday

Spent 4 hours blowing hoovering turning 

Blowing hoovering rolling 

Blowing you get the idea then ages panel wiping it !

Went in this morning water wiped it with fresh washed micro fiber clothes 

Then got going
