bigmac 97kt 13,813 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) The raider was looking a bit rough so i stripped her down and started to sand the paint off using p60 as the paint was thick (i gave her a good few coats the last time lol)got the stock dune then started on the metal work. once i had all of that dune i gave her a wipe down with a damp cloth and left her to dry once dry i started to paint her and then stained the stock with wall nut stain she did look good but me being me i put a few more on then a few more again. So now i will have to see if i can lighten up the stock once she has hardened ill give her a light rub down then ill start with the oil but as she stands at the moment i dont think i like it but we will see atvbmac Edited June 23, 2014 by bigmac 97kt Quote Link to post
