Just picked up again on your thread - was the paint with the rubbish in, that stuff I collected from Hull? Like the new result though - top man! Looking forward to meeting up with you next Friday to give our leader and his good Lady a special Orkney Tour - hope this mist clears away!

Yes Ian that was the dark green paint, my own fault for not straining the paint. The RS paint don’t need any straining. I am still going to use the dark green to paint a random spare tank that I have to see how it comes out, but decided it was darker than I wanted for the K1. Catch you soon Ian.

I was dreading today’s job but could not prolong it any further!😂 Job done, tank decals on! I was wondering why these decals are the way they are - open ended and not joined at ends. I suspect it’s to do with the contours of the tanks? Final lacquering at the weekend hopefully. No problem with lacquer hardening Dom.
(Meant to attach pic but must have got distracted)🤭
(Now it seems to think my pic is better upside down)I give up for now!

Ive messaged CCR paints who said I 'may' get lucky by flatting the lacquer with 800 grit wet and dry and spraying a fresh coat of 2k over it. He thinks I cant have activated the can properly but I did it exacts as instructed and shook it for what seemed half a century.

That’s a bit of a pain in the rear Dom, I would be tempted to give it a go although without assurance that it’s going to sort the problem. If it’s not hardened by now it’s probably not going to. Hope you get it sorted.

This company was recommended by Julie to me and they didn’t disappoint. Home through the door from Italy 3 days from ordering up to Orkney that’s pretty good. Not cheap, but what the heck when it’s the cherry for the cake that’s just been iced!😜
