found a rust-proof zinc-based, and made ​​produce color as the originals.
Unfortunately you can see the brush strokes, but the danger of rust is removed, and even scratching the paint.

I'd get it re enamelled by Jacksons or Argos, in the Original livery, my favourite RM colour scheme, a classic. ! It's a beaut!

Really looking forward to seeing this finished - I always liked the fact that the designer/s seemed to think hard about where to braze on the cable guides on these frames.
