That makes a lot of sense Tony . Thanks for that great tip  .. restores my confidence somewhat ..
I guess it also means I should be able to use the roller method ?

Dave,

She is your game - do what you want - I have done it with a roller on Picnic (the never ending repaint) and I was really happy
with the way she is coming out. You do get a different texture to the paint this way but I think it suits these old girls.
