    It's like a clear coat you put on after acid wash most Senator and Surtees boats are done with it if they are unpainted.
    Makes it so easy to wash and keeps any Ali looking good.

    Yep I know that much already, cost of product? easy to apply? I heard it doesn't like spilled fuel? Yep keeps things looking good but after a while with the inevitable scratches is it easy enough to remove and re acid wash and reapply?

    Yea real easy to apply just use a small foam roller goes on like water and yes it hates fuel I just splashed water on first before filling up so if it spilt it wouldn't damage it.

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    Top job mate! How long has the build taken you?
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
