cunning plan
Hey Tony,
just clicked why shed green ..... no worries with the overspray !
I think the problems with the some of the Automotive paint is that its designed to be high gloss shine, my local suppplier recommended with the gloss enamel I use to mix 1lt paint to 20% flattener to 20% thinners based on 3 coats and final coat can be 25%... his spec sheets say up to 50% flattener but he said this is in the borderline with it turning out milky.
Going to spray a door first and judge the results but mine is not an original Army replica ans the Fire Brigade demilitarised her so i'm restoring as a 2nd life timber truck type.
Bob is right that if you want army khaki get the right paint so you know you get the shade and finish you want as there is so many out there and plenty of head scratching material !
Got the brackets off the Bumper and the curve is pretty even, so just going to attempt to correct the twist and see how I go from there, heatwise as i dont have acetylene kit is to run a bead of weld on inside of bumper on a line where i need to apply pressure to bend her back to true whilst the weld area is still red hot, will let you know how I go but i have used this before on steel bumpers and it has worked well
