DO NOT keep that turbo! get a used t28.
Do not worry I wont keep the T(oo puny to discribe) 25, going for t28. secondhand... alot cheaper... :twisted: :twisted:

Nice. What colour is that?

Also what paint did you use and what was the process. Prepping? Sanding? Base coats? primer? Sorry for the 20 questions but that's good info to know when seeing threads like these...

Hey G! It's all good!

It's black/gunmetal hammerite spray, the hammerite gives it a bit of a sparkle effect.

Ok and the process: First off I water sanded the parts with a 1000 grit sandpaper and then a 2000grit. After I wiped it clean with watered down thinners, just to get all the filth and particles off. Then I just sprayed the first coat of hammerite, no primers or base coats.

Sprayed 3 coats and then sanded again with 2000grit to get all the imperfections out. sprayed another 2 coats and then polished with wax. came out nicely I think.
:twisted:
