Yep, I'm using it without a primer. Seems like good stuff.
I'd agree with that.I'd guess it's a 50l one.
I use a 100L compressor and yes I use a gravity fed gun.
As I say my compressor struggles to keep up hence why I'm painting it in bit's.
What are you wanting to do? Paint your 90.
As you say "Not to bad of a colour" It's not what I wanted but it has grown on me a hell of a lot since opening the tin.
Oh and to much. £70 for a 5L tin. But you all know how tight us Yorkshire folk are

Ah fairy snuff
It's 2k paint. So proper automotive stuff. Like what a professional spray painter would use.
Pretty sure you wouldn't be allowed to use it on site.
2k contains isocyanates and you're meant to wear an air fed mask.

So I got the tub in primer first thing this morning, flated it and got some colour on it
Looks ok, But I've ended up with a few pin holes somehow
Not the best pic's. I'll get some more tomorrow when it's fitted.

Pretty sure no one want's to see my ugly mug on here.'tis dark in the garage so colour looks darker than it is.
Nope, Never needed to in the past.
Silicone came using a variety of tools, heat, knife blade, sandpaper.
Don't think that caused it to be honest as it's not near it. Although I suppose it wouldn't take much to spread it about.
Anyway panic over as it looks a lot better now it's fully dry
Looks pretty good to me, but I know from your previous build thread how high your standards are.
Yep as above much happier with it this morning
Glad you're enjoying the thread. I actually enjoy writing it, So hopefully people enjoy reading it

So todays progress is as follows
So needing to get the tub fitted. I thought It would be a good idea to fit the front to rear brake pipe and the exhaust. Well it saves me rolling about on the floor after
Anyway in Richards wisdom there is no holes in the chassis for the brake pipe clips.
So it was done like this instead.
Inset rivnut in chassis.

This is what I use to fit them, Really handy tool to have if not a little big.

Used rubber lined P-clips and fixed to chassis.

Tub out of garage.

90 in the garage and tub fitted

Next job was to get the wiring loom in the dash.
With me having a td5 bulkhead the loom is routed different to the earlier tdi's
So took a few measurements of the old bulkhead
Used this to drill a 44mm hole. courtesy of work

AHHHHHH birds nest

Started fitting the dash. It's a bit of jiggery pokery as the dash fixes different to the td5 dash. So a few rivnuts and self tappers hear and there and it should fit eventually.
If I'd have thought about it more I'd have done it before I fitted the loom but hay-ho.

And I've gained mi' self a new spanner dropped out of the bottom dash panel
