Joined: 10/07/2002(UTC) Posts: 3,298 Location: Patagonia		Hi, a time ago i rescued an old 3005 from the garbage of a friend's house (he didn't know what he had), and i'm working on restoring it, all the mechanical stuff is now working well with cleaning and the proper spare parts. The frame was in very bad shape with the painting in very bad condition, right now she is completely polished and wainting for a new paint job, i have several ideas of how to do it but i would appretiate if someone can help me with what kind of paint should i use. As for the technique i think an airbrush will do the work well, am i right? Thanks for your help

Now about the paint... I wouldn't know what make of color would be the best, but my choice would be color for metal objects or color for cars.

Thanks in advance Francisco
