Personally, I would go for satin black powder coat, cheaper to get done than you may think,  if you shop around..  I just got my fan cowel shot blasted, and powder coated for £15, better than new, and will last forever..

I just removed the paint and rust with a wire wheel, not really fussed about the finish as it's my track car.  All I wanted to do was spray it so that the rust would not come through and so that it looked better than the old black paint.  Is etched Primer available from Halfrauds?  and is it expensive.  I was thinking of doing it hammerite silver to match what the body colour is (and I'll be using some of the same on the lower section of the body).

Cheers Joe.  Gonna get it done this weekend as the head is going back on and I am itching to drive the car (had it since August and it's not been on the road yet).
