Nearly time for the engine to come out of the frame-looking at using PJ1 satin for the paint unless anyone can recommend anything better? Anybody used this on bare metal. if so, did you use an etching primer and did you use heat? Thanks for any help! :) Don't bother with the PJ1, it is rubbish sinc...
