One more comment on paint.....
Have you considered using regular gasoline as a thinner in your paint...... this was standard practice to reduce shine when painting M 37 back in the 70's..

1970s gas a lot different from 2012 gas
Hi Bob
Yes, you could do a lot of things with 1970 gas that I'm not sure would work now. As to the paint after going back to the Dupont manual think I know what the problem is, the hardener. It makes the paint set-up very fast and is hard wearing. It also makes for a very high gloss so it is fighting the flattening compound. I forgot for flattened application you use it in the 1st coat not top or last coat. Besides I've already put some marks in the paint putting on the last little parts. Are you guys still going to be able to come down to Weare? Cheers Phil

Thanks Phil
Always enjoy your progress shots and footage. Reassuring to see we dont always have smooth sailing as restorers as well.
Look forward to more pictures and film of the old girl thundering along...
