Thanks for the two replies on painting small bits. Brad mentioned using
a "cadnium plating kit from Caswell Plating." Can anyone explain if
they are available in Canada, how they work so I might find a comparable
product?
Atwell mentioned "POR 15 rust-inhibiting paint." Is that likely
to be available in Canada - or would Tremclad Rust Paint do the same job?
How about Engine paint?
When I got the body off the chassis, I noticed that it was the
same Mimosa (aka ugly yellow) as the body, but under that was black, so I
assumed black would be right. As this is to be a 'good looking
restoration' rather than a 'perfect rebuild' I guess I'll settle for
black.
Thanks for the good wishes - I'm having fun already. I started
the job 8 years ago, but family tragedy got in the way, so now I'm ready
to get on with it.
Cheers, Fred
