Paint !!!

Paint!! Well, its not really paint, its the starting preparation for the paint.

Firstly any bare metal is cleaned right back and treated to a coat of acid-etch primer. This eats into the metal and gives us a good base to work from.


You can see the grey etch primer being applied to the bare metal areas. We do not leave any bare metal exposed. It very quickly starts to oxidise.

Here you can see the the main chassis rail and now with etch-primer you can start to see the finished detail in the welding. This is the level of detail we want to see when the final paint gets applied.
