Bit of a odd question but how easy is it to paint galv'd Military spec bumperettes?

Depends on what you are going to paint them with but even the worst case is easy enough, what paint are you intending to use?

Thats what i was thinking john as its going to have a very very shiny galv rear cross member so may leave them. May be able to acquire some from a friend of mine up the camp for a full set of front and back bumperettes. Will wait and see.

lash it on with a brush, a bit of primer will help but hammerite is pretty good, bumperetes are going to get scratches and dings so keep a bit spare for touch ups.

hammerite do a special primer for galved steel its well worth using.

Well late rather than never !

 

2 points i would only fit a Richards chassis and hell i have fitted a few now no issues even The first Disco 2 chassis to come from any manufacture!

 

Have fitted a marslands one wont be doing that again if i can help it !

 

2, painting Galv you need to etch the surface with something called mordent solution otherwise most paints will not stick to the surface properly for any length of time and hammerite is one of the worst for this and also hammerite today is nothing as good as it was.

She is back and is better than before. It turns well, brakes very well and there is less of a clunk from the drivetrain. No body roll or after bump rebound either. Shall get pics as soon as possible.
