Suppose it wont hurt to do it, and seen as I've already got some in the shed I guess it's nothing of a job to do.
It hurts if it goes in your eye! Trust me!

Haha, I shan't ask how you managed that. I once filled my gun up with paint but forgot to tighten the lid, picked it up and threw it all over myself and the panel I was painting.
Couldn't get it out my hair and had to cut the bugger off
I'm palpitating that looks fecking fruity!!!! N there's a bloke bringing one to the Defender day at Pentillie Castle and the showy git has 2 snorkels!As mr discokids said, It is a 5.9L Cummins 6bt.
I doubt that mate, not unless I go for it full time, not got enough time to spend on it at the mo with work, I recon it'll be November/December by the time I'm done.
Yours should get easier now mate, panels will go on as quick as you can get them back from paint. It's good to see some pictures of yours too, it's a work of art, would be good to see more as it progresses
Haha. I wish I'd put my name as Andy and not discokids! Anyway, what I did was the cheapo way, White vinegar, 39p from tesco. Scotchbrite and get scrubbing, made sure it was well coated and scrubbed and left for a couple of days. Compared it to some fresh galv and there was a clear difference. This was dull and a lot darker grey. Time will tell.
Very keen to see your painting setup and space chap... I've got exactly the same job to do over the next couple of weeks.
Theirs not a lot too my setup to be honest bud, compressor is an old 100L compressor I bought second hand (currently looking a new ones) as it doesn't really keep up.
I use an ell cheapo' gun with a 1.6mm nozzle for the high build primer.
Devilbiss flg5 with 1.3mm nozzle (I think) for the top coat.
Use a little inline water trap and pressure gauge/regulator on the bottom of either gun so the gun can be set and fine tuned at actual inlet pressure.
Like these.

Paint space, well that's just done in the garage where I do everything else, just not a lot of room so has to be done a panel or 2 at a time.
Just throw a sheet over anything I don't want to get covered in over spray, wet the floor too keep dust down and off I go.
Over spray gets everywhere! So do make sure you sheet up if it's something you're bothered about, my old toolbox is covered in it
I was hoping you would start before me and see how you got on with the paint you bought, I was very tempted, but not used that type of paint before.
Haha... That's funny, there's been a few things where I've thought "oh I'll wait and see how Aaron does it!"
I've got that new 150ltr compressor, and a 1.3mm Siegel gun. I had read about damping down the floor, and that was where my worried started... I've got cardboard all over the floor (rented house) and obv the cardboard is now filthy in a variety of ways.... Perhaps I need to put down a new layer of cardboard before I think about painting, and then I can damp that each time.
Have you decided on the colour yet?
I'm not great with shades of colour, but it doesn't look a million miles away from this. The so called last one off the production line.
Yours is maybe a bit darker?
