Update: Decided that the cowl needs redoing completely. :( Sprayed it with acetone and the enamel fell off virtually. Start again tomorrow but his time I am using Acrylic paint. Appliance White and Volkswagon Mars Red. The latter the nearest colour I could find... ;) If it was not for the colour of the Chippy covering, I would've used a metallic red just to be different. :whistle:

Etch primed again, wet-dry 600 then the two colours. All done in less than 5 hours. A few lines are slightly rough but that is down to the masking tape. The "Mars Red" is not quite as "orangy red" as the RC colour no22 but I am not that bothered and I am not using so called fuel proof enamels again either. Just waiting on some Chipmunk transfers from SLEC now. Then run in the engine properly up the field sometime.
