Coming together nicely, Wayne.... I just love clinker grey in the engine bay...
I stumbled onto it when I went to get some paint to re-do the dash.... took one look at it when I got home and just knew it belonged in the engine bay..... I went acrylic with mine - 2K would be much hardier... but I won't spray it ...
The colour is great for hiding oil/grease and most of the "dirt" .. but, when it's clean... it gleams.....

Good going - you should be up and running for Hervey Bay - easily..... so, Milkshake is going to become the "limo" is she....?

frats,

Looks great, Wayne - wouldn't have spent much less time in the paint shop than when GMH sprayed it....

Bet you're getting excited...?..... but now - it's "your" turn to start work.....
