    Quick update on this - I stuck with the regular non-ferrous primer (as I have a couple of cans of the stuff) and made sure that I rubbed it down properly with an old sock to knock the dusty texture off the primer coat. Then it was 2 light coats of black gloss followed by one slightly heavier coat - now I'm totally getting what Magicniner was saying in his post on the previous page... You've really got to watch for that fine line between the paint building up into a layer just thick enough to give you a glossy coat - too much more after that and I can see that it would have run. Luckily I was paying attention and the finish came out pretty sweet...

    Nice job Wal, You obviously have your Full License for the old Airyassol-Can ;-)
    Matching screw alignment shows you care, don't listen to them, the angle of the dangle doesn't matter provided they match :D
    You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D
