Yep, nice shiny paint under most of it, and quite thick in places, 3 or 4lb's worth on this section I reckon. I'll scape the whole underside eventually, doing it in sections to avoid driving myself round the twist.

Out of interest Blue. Will you be sealing the bare metal with anything ?
If you are , I take it will be lightweight. Gibbs ?

Tiger seal the seams and then a light coat of stone chip, unless I can find anything helium based....
