Paint time for the EQ - What colour?
As you may or may not remember, I painted my EQ mount after 2 weeks restoration work only to discover that my beautiful paint work started peeling off!!!
Mick Pinner talked about using an Etch on bare metal to prevent rust and I knew I needed a Primer to make the paint stick (but I rushed it and left the primer out!) so I went to a Car Paint shop and told them what I am doing.
They recommended an 'Etch/Primer all in one application. Sounds good to me!
So, all is stripped back to bare metal again and I am using their Etch/Primer in a spray can.
Now what I don't know is: What colour to paint the finish coat.
I did it white last time and it looked pretty good, but I have time to change my mind. Apart from all the ridiculous colours some will suggest (pink with green stripes etc) what colour would suit a large EQ mount?
Suggestions of a colour before I buy the paint are welcome.
(the reason I stuck this un-interesting waffle in the Equipment thread is in case someone else wants to paint their equipment and it's about my equipment.
