Hello again Jack. It is just that paint is probably one of the most difficult things to deal with when doing a restoration.
Do you do it in a flat paint which begins to oxidize immediately, or maybe a two pot modern gloss paint.....or anything in between?
That's aside from the colour or some form of camo.
We have seen good people leave MLU because others have become toxic about their opinions.
We have also seen some very good info laid out in the forum, so you should ask.
Yes I was being flipant while wondering about the original base colour of my MkI* U.C., so am very interested in the answers you get.
