a paint known simply as 'chassis black' , its a paint thats really thick and dries rock hard with a fantastic shine......its getting harder to find these days though, but manor coatings at shipley, west yorkshire, still do it.

steady john, she's only 9
err the latest on the simca, well the weather has slowed me down a bit, we've had nowt but rain for the last 4 days and it wasn't much fun at the Hebden bridge car show yesterday with the Alvis....I got wet through
between showers, this afternoon, I managed to get some paint sprayed on. no pics yet though.
if the weather is kind I'm hoping to finish painting it through the week then get her windows and interior back in at the weekend.
I'll post some pics tommorow night
