Good question.

The main drama with painting the nosecone is paint cracking when the nose flexes.
You can buy the additive from the paint shop, it is expensive.

The surface needs to be very clean after you finished sanding, Skuff it can be bought at a paint shop and applied with fine steel wool.

I have always painted the nose on the car. No point making more work for yourself.

Well done Mark. It's coming along nicely. Full credit to you for sticking it out and rebuilding the old girl. Alot of other people would have thrown in the towel and just bought another car to swap the parts into. Your an inspiration mate. Can't wait to the see the finished product.
