Well Simon is very lucky...if it was in blue it would have costed two grand!!! We all know that the blue ones go faster!!
Well wear anyway Simon....looking at my responses over the weekend, I sort of did come across negative, so apologies for that. Hopefully you will get a slice of luck and that it will be good to go with just a little touch up of paint.
Try Plasticote gloss paint or I like to use BBQ paint for a more matt finish. The fins can be tricky. I just painted mine over....easier to touch up afterwards. But you can paint over them and then wipe along the fins straight away with the edge of a cloth and some white spirits to bring them back out.
Another tip is to go over all the rusty bits like bolts ect with black paint from a tin and with a fine artists type brush. You be amazed how it freshens things up a bit. And for the metal bits like Pipes and non laquered hangers I like to use Autosol in a tube.
Cheers!!
