Re: Chemical stripping reccomendation

Hi, I had my front wings, bumper and doors dip stripped around 5 months ago.

They also do media blasting if required as well, very reasonable pricing as well.

Re: Uncovering original paint

On flakey paint I've also used an air line - lifted the paint a stripped back - worth a try.

rear engine lid fitment

Hi,

Does the rear engine lid have spacers / washers between hinge and lid on the forward bolts to lift it up. I've no spacers and the engine lid sits to low. From memory i thought there were a couple of washers when i removed but was a long while ago.

Thanks

Bonnet Hinge paint

Hi,

What colour should the bonnet hides be on a 1968 car?. They were satin black but when stopped the original car paint was underneath.
Whist on the subject should underneath the bonnet be body colour or black ?

Thanks
