Hello all,
        I've been on the Triumph list for a while, but as I don't own a 
TR2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 thought I'd keep the the Spitfire list.
        i'm presently doing a restoration on a 75 1500, and took the 
chassis to the paint shop this afternoon.  That was after spending 1 1/2 
hours sandblasting anything that didn't move meaning axles, trunnions, 
diff, etc.  It was fun watching that ugly yellow just dissappear!
        I'm having the chassis done in Endura, gloss black - pretty 
standard I guess.  My question is - to do bolt heads, nuts, washers, 
small bits that didn't make it to the body shop, etc - what kind of 
preparation would you do?  I have a very small sandblaster in my garage, 
but after that what would you use - primer, undercoat, paint etc?

        Any help greatly appreciated.
