    It's an easy job . rub down with something like a scotch bright cloth to key it up. give the rad a good clean after. Then under coat with white under coat, light coats are best. Leave over night to dry then a gentle rub with some 800 wet and dry. The top coat in gloss paint.. Job done.. Use some laquer as a final coat if you want.

    If you want have a look though my builds you can see the process i go through when I'm spraying cases etc.

    I know that Custom PC did an article on this recently, Glenn - I just haven't had a minute this evening to dig it out. I'll see if I can locate it tomorrow for you!
