underneath, i'll get some proper ones when i can lay down in the pit but its wet at the mo, spent all the holliday painting, started putting stuff back on the back inc the tow bar, need some more ammerite red, i'm spraying the front bit, gear box etc, too sodding fiddley for brush, am i right in thinking hammerite thinners is acetone, it smells like it and has that ice cold feel like acetone, if so it may be cheaper than the hammerite stuff ( £7 odd for a small can, ripper) fitted new hose clipe to the filler tubes, bit of a stretch but they went on, lot easier with the lift working in there,

I thought hammerite went sort of stringy in cellulose, i'll give it a try tho, cheers, i got a 22 lt can from a paint factors for around £17, a dam sight cheaper than the hammerite stuff,
