Rocker Cover Refurb
this is after a few coats of VHT grey primer engine enamel. looks pretty good but there are still defects showing through so I've since ground those out, re-filled again and it's ready to be sanded back yet again.
You're supposed to leave this VHT paint 7 days between coats so I'll just go straight to Satin black top coat on the weekend.
You're really supposed to oven bake for 20 minutes to give the enamel its chemical resistance but
a) I don't have an oven big enough
b) the trouble I would be in if I was caught is not worth it. Doing the final rinse off in the bath drew enough attention as it was
The heat from the engine will cure it eventually but I'll have to be careful not to spill solvents etc on it in the mean time
