Hi guys, another mini update: Apron restore..

1st pic.. the point of no return!! Stripping the old paint off after i had scanned the old artwork into my PC and tidied it up ready to print out as decals.
I used a clean n strip disc in an electric drill to strip the paint right back to the metal, these discs make short work of this!  *%*

After that was done, i wiped it down with Prepsol and rags before applying several coats of acrylic grey primer.

Once the primer had dried, i sanded it back with 400 grit wet n dry paper in preparation for the white acrylic top coat. Once again i wiped it down with Prepsol before the paint went on. After the paint was sprayed on i put the apron aside and allowed the paint to dry overnight.
