Firstly, concerning the genral paint finish on Ariels produced in 1950 was the genral finish matt , gloss or a mixture and what tupes of paint were used, i.e. was the frame stove enamelled and the tin ware painted with gloss, by hand or what? Before I lauch into repainting my machine which was last painted in 1976 with Cellulose I'd be interested in feloow Arielists experiences and or advice /comments.
Draganfly have specifiied a paint spec for the red hunter's red finsih, but the question is 'waht sort of paint will stick to chromed surfcaes asucha s wheels, or is some special prepartion required?
Finally, does anyone know who can or how it is possible to attain the correct shape for the painted panels on the tank/ Do any templates exist? I did try to copy the vestiges of polished / un polished chrome on mine but with little success.
Any assistance would be much assisted. Perhaps some one knows some one that can, or knows. I see lots of pictires of beautifully finished machines, so, the knowledge must be out there somewhere. I'd like to get my VH back to the sort of condition in which it left the factory but not better than!!!
Thanks in anticipation for any input!!
Cheers!!
Keith
