I've spent the last couple of days sanding, fine filling and priming etc. Finally got some colour down.
Yes, I went with a gloss black. It was a spur of the moment change, as I was planning to go just flat, but its only for me so don't care. I had forgotten just how much work goes into these and the last full rebuild I did I just purchased a new cab, already painted and decaled from Tim at HRP. In hindsight a much much easier option!
I managed to get rid of most of the timber grain and is a reasonable base for the decal. I could have gone down the sand / prime / sand / prime path probably another 4 times to achieve a glass finish but kinda pointless
Anyhoo, a couple of pics with colour on. Bit of orange peel in the paint but I'll flatten it down prior to decals going on.
