well when the wind dropped this evening put the top coat on - Nissan RED  Then consistency on instructions Paint said Lacquer after 30 mins The Lacquer said don't put on until the paint has dried for 24 hours then rub the paint down with 1200 Grit paper So I followed the paint

08:00 this morning  09:25   Paint comparison  This was the paint  The cost Undercoat - Donation from Neil Top Coat Red - £1 from Kempton park - and I have another can Lacquer - Left over from another job Rubber for shroud - £5 from Stafford Not a perfect match but pleased for a first attempt I have another full Oxford in Blue in the loft but that has CX500 mounting frame - will modify that for SME |

Looks good Pete. That colour's quite a good match. I fancy a colour change & my 250NB was red originally - seed planted  |
