Not that a one year old Toylander really needed a respray,more the fact that some parts such as the windscreen base,front lower apron,dash panel seats and the back door were painted on one side only,some not at all.
The special DK Auto type twin pack paints make such a good job,the Toylander has spent much of 2011 out in the weather,with an epoxy base paint over an epoxy coating on the marine grade ply,its very much weather proof.
To touch up such paint coatings is not so easy,so a full body strip down and full repaint was the result,the painting alone takes two sesions as the lower side has to cure before we can do the top sides.
The refit of the engineering pack has now begun,all metal has been spray painted with a very special MCU ( moisture cure urethane) silver paint,it will last a long time.
