Just came across this thread
Looking mint, never realised there was a 3-door so close to me.
Your swirl pot WILL melt in the oven mate, if you buy a new pattern tank it'll have metal inners and you won't have the problem.
To be honest mate there only £70 and for the time you've spent on yours I'd of bought one.
My stuff is in for powder coat also but I've used a place up in Cramlington as I could'nt find anyone local.
I'll have to have a look at Bettablast as I'm wanting my front steering knuckles and Anti-roll bar doing in Black
Keep up the good work!!!
I've been painting today also, I've done the head and the ABS block
