Nearly done now, scuttle is now sprayed along with the front wheels, rear wheels need all the bits of paint that nitromors couldn't cope with just "Firkin Out" from the nooks and crannies, masking off, then spraying. Apart from the hubcaps thats all there is to do.
Keep you posted

The Black enamel paint will "flatten" as it drys.....
as it has flattened quite well on these......
For all my bits that needed masking before spraying, I've used this stuff, it's plastic and sticky backed and it cuts cleanly unlike some masking tapes. It's used in the photographic industry for attaching to the leading edge of film rolls before they go through a minilab machine.

Hey - that's 'Technotape', Wallace & Gromit use it don't they?
Seriously, good tip Jon, I hate masking tape, never seems to do the job properly and refuses to rip straight!
