It's going to look really good, Martyn. What's the final colour going to be green ?

Hello John
I applied the primer and undercoat with a paint roller,this is then givern a rub down with what can be described as a brillo pad type material.It is then givern three top coats which is sprayed on.All the fiddly bits like cock handles and scrapers are done with a paint brush.I have also been emailed the Milford Haven council coat of arms.This may have to be applied in the form of a decal as it is work of art in itself.I will get a sign writer to line out the roller.
Martyn
