I've used it too and its pretty good. Only thing i've found is it can be a bit reactive when going over other paint finishes and ends up crazing. Never had any bother on bare metal though. The finish on those cases and airbox look spot on too.

all i had was somewhere to hang it confuse i just made sure the cases were clean. autosol and a green dish cloth to get rid of the surface corrosion,the washed them in fairy liquid and water. then rinse and dry well. mask off any holes in the cases,so the paint dont get inside (paint molecules destroy bearings)

the masking isnt too difficult. to close off the holes you just apply it in strips to seal it

and then trim it. you can use a scalpel or a file on the outer edge (i found a scalpel/stanly blade worked well)

the primer seems to take very well biggrin then i just used halfrauds appliance white over the top. dont know how it will last,but like i say its taken very well. probably gonna clear coat it too,added protection
