Hi guys,

It's a paint colour question: I'm planning on touching up the paint on the chassis + wishbones.
Does anyone know whether the 'Grey' or 'Silver' POR15 paint is the colour best match for the original ('92 pre-cat)?

Also any tips on what's the best method for removing 21 years of waxoil - other than just lots of rags and WD-40?!
Cheers
Graham

When I did mine many years ago I used silver.......

As for cleaning, the cheapest, most effective way was to use petrol... And for the real stubborn stuff, brake cleaner....

Obviously, in a well ventilated area, no smoking and no naked flames...smile

Definitely silver, it is a very close match.
