Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[rivet]

Hi

(This is my first ever posting here)

I am restoring an Austin 101 (not a Mini, but the Austin re-badged version of the Morris JB, which is the B series engine version of the Morris J Type van, though mine was once a milk float and will be returned to the road as a small flatbed truck).

I have been thinking about paint and a friend of mine, who has a keen interest in old trucks, says that many classic commercials were not spray painted but were done by hand and that many restorers do it that way today.

I was wondering if anyone could point me to a source of good instructions on preparations etc.

Thanks
