HELP - Gottlieb Volley must be finished by 14th April

[oldpins]

Here's the paint info from the tin. This is what I use for Gottliebs of that era:

Dulux Super Enamel - Semi gloss
Colour - Icing sugar (British Paints Colour Wall 2006)
EE  OY 2N
XX  OY 4N

Fairly sure HOLD RELAY A9736 would be what you need.

Thanks heaps for that Greg 
So do you have access to a vinyl cutter?  I think there would be a market for those drop target decals I'll get you to reproduce.
I'll send an actual Drop Target to you so you can get an exact match

Question 7.

Do I need to sand right back to bare timber or just get smooth then apply primer then white base coat.
Reason I ask is, I wondered how well the 34 year old original paint adhears as a base for new paint??

Matt, if you want paint and colours matched/mixed, let me know. My brother manages a local auto paint supply business and I'll organise the matching to be done for free and "special" cash pricing for the paint. He's rather good at colour matching.

Plus you don't want the new paint to react with the old (although it's so old as to now unlikely be an issue).

I always sand back to wood, fix and imperfections with bondo or similar, spray primer/undercoat (several thin coats over a 2 hour period), then let the paint settle for a week and apply a thin coat of white (base color), followed by a thicker coat of white. Settle for a week. Then do the stenciled colors over a weekend. Let it settle for a week and then install hardware.

To strip the old paint, use citris strip from bunnings. It does not stink and washes out with water. I've stripped cabs in less than 2 hours.

That was a restore I did years ago and it still looks like it was painted last weekend !

Wow, thanks mate, I can give you the headbox to you to show him, or word him up and I'll pop in early next week

Either way - let me know which and I'll organise. More than happy to take the head box in and sort, glad to help (seeing I encouraged you to do this on the other thread!!)

Well, to save time if he is working monday, give him the heads up and I'll take it in to him.  Let me know if it suits

For sure, I'm seeing him Sunday for dinner, so I'll check when he's taking lunch so you can avoid then.

I have a vinyl cutter if needed.

I have a Roland vinyl cutter which I use for graphics on machines I restore. No need to send a target if you can scan one (scanning will be to scale). Here's an example of a GTB 'Golden Arrow' I'm working on at the moment.

Thats great Greg, would be a very handy item

Thanks for the offer mate, but Greg got in first and I can't let you fight for it 
Appreciate all the help from everyone though
