Thanks everyone! I'm glad you enjoyed it so far - I certainly did have tons of fun with this.
I learnt quite a lot in the process too. For example I've never used Maskol before but, to save time on masking that moulded in engine, I sprayed the whole thing black and then literally slopped maskol all over the place where I wanted it to stay black. 20 minutes later I started spraying various Alclad colours. I really expected the Maskol to be patchy, leak and for the "hot" Allclad to melt it. Was I impressed when I peeled it back off 20 minutes later!!! I can only imagine what you can really do with this stuff with a little more care.
Also, I finally understood what it means to spray paint in LIGHT coats - makes a huge difference
And finally, Eureka! I used TS13 (or, as I call it, The China Syndrome in an aerosol) and it no sign of melt down

I had an absolute ball - really enjoyed myself.
Ingrid it is!
Hmmm...I wonder what the result would be if Ingrid and Jean Paul ever get it on together?
