I always use body shop panel wipe before any painting and never had any issues with silicones/fish eyes. Have you also eliminated any contamination from your paints/spray equipment/paint mixing tools? I ask because I know people who use those plastic pipette to mix the paint and they can sometimes b...

I tested practically every fluorescent red I could find a few years back in a quest to find the best for application, colour shade and longevity. In my opinion the best all rounder was/is Mr Color #171 Fluorescent Red. It just had a wow factor about it like no other and was so easy to use..

I've got three to do. 1993 Portugal in the all blue 555 livery, one in the Rothmans Rallying livery and the early one in the white, pink and green colours. I've done the Richard Burn...

There were several options on the page, I think you went where I went first (70s Stones).
