I reckon the brush works best , tried spraying it and was a nightmare and wasted a lot of paint and its not cheap Look forward to seeing your cradle all painted ! would be nice once I get my own place to buy some machinery so I can do it all from home.... one day ! gotta finish that race car first

Thank You VKzac , will keep the posts coming Cheers Esprit ! I've owned it 5 years now , fairly slow rebuild but really getting a move on this year ! -
Nice work on the front cradle , good old por15 . Do you brush it on or spray it ? Was very lucky at my previous job to build all those parts and use the machinery after hours. Ive now changed jobs though :/
