  1. Ive been stripping and painting parts from underneath my camper today and now have some parts baking in front of the open fire

    I love the smell of tractor enamel it reminds me of painting models with humbrol when i was a kid
     
  2. Know where your at dude... when I was young and making balsa wood gliders I used to get a bit heady when I was doping the tissue on the finished frame :hippy:

    Smell of humbrol enamels mixed with Cafe Creme cigars still brings back fond childhood memories. :)

    Ive just applied the last coat of enamel to one of my spindles
    Its so time consuming prepping and painting the mechanical parts
    Disassemble,burn of old waxoyl,wire brush untill back to bright metal,degrease,etch prime,base coat of enamel,flat back,second coat of enamel,flat back and then final coat of enamel
