The Cup project proceeds steadily but slowly.
I’m a firm believer in having wire wheels stove enamelled,
rather than powder coated or cellulose.
Were Austin wings, almost universally back , factory or coachbuilt,
stove enamelled in an oven, or hand painted, by spray or brush? In cellulose?
Or coach enamel, air drying rather than oven baked?
Similarly how was the black paint for the Chummy radiator shell treated?
I have access to a good stove enamelling workshop but
May need to persuade them to let me prep them after priming,
before they stove on the top black coat?
My wings are alloy, but the rad shell is steel if that makes any difference?
