[QUOTE="alternativeroute, post: 472902, member: 1115"] hehe, I think this one was used as one of these: [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6b/BSicon_ANCHOR.svg/500px-BSicon_ANCHOR.svg.png[/IMG] All the black bits in the first picture is where the paint and the primer had already peeled back... I ended up sanding all the remnants of the old primer off as the stripper was working to slow... Before I painted it I had managed to knoch back loads of the black (except for the edges)... What I was worried about is what exactly the black is? Is it staining or is it rust that is going to spread... I might put on a clearcoat but it looks quite good as it is now... I am trying to decide what to do with the arm moulding... Paint it black or leave it that plastic faux-silver :thinking: I was tempted to get it powder coated as they would also acid strip the chassis first... [/QUOTE]
