Re:
Need to update this, currently I've stripped the 96 Kilauea of Paint as I found a run in it, which i tried to flat/cut n polish out only to go straight through the paint :facepalm: :cry:
so I just stripped the lot. Primed it and am in the process of spraying it with rattlecan Plastikote. :roll:
I figure if the paint doesn't last I can always get the frame re-done at a later date.
I've also stripped the set of 98 SIDs which are in VGC (phew). Just waiting on some O rings to start rebuilding it with new seals & Decals from Gil.
Also stripped the M950 rear mech, found a surprising amount of sand in it :shock: so glad i gave it a once over and fitted a bling breakaway bolt :mrgreen:
still lots to do, but I have a week at home with Sprog (school hols) so may get some more done

Re:
progress report.....
Frame has been painted and lacquered, 3 coats of Orange and 2 of glittery clear and this is what I got
Then I added the Decals from Gil M,
Looking like a proper job now.... be interesting to see how long before it chips :facepalm:
Also Have all the O rings needed to rebuild the SIDS so off to the Garage....

Re: The "3 way" Kona project onto No. 3...
no more purple plz!
good job on the spray. maybe buff it and dab in some carnauba wax. (similar to automotive detailing) in my experience it adds some resilience to the paint and makes it easy to clean the surface.
