Wow - painting a spitfire MK 2 chassis Green! Boy does that sound familiar
- I just finished sand blasting & painting my 67 MK 2 chassis a few weeks
ago (also green) in my garage with about 10 inches of snow on the ground
outside (okay - not quite as much snow as sweden). BTW if you're
interested, I believe the correct green paint for MK 2 spitfire is conifer
green instead of british racing green- if your paint code is 25 - that is
conifer green. I used PPG Deltron on mine - they had an offset of an
offset for the original Dupont Laqueer color which looks right on (the
dupont color code for conifer green is Dupont #8450L (laqueer) or #1C947C
(enamel)).

Subject: 6 degrees celsius in the garage and one meter of snow
Hello
I have just lifted the chassi of the frame and i am sending the chassi
to be painted(British racing green))
I have to work quickly to keep warm in my garage its 6 degrees celsius
warm?
Out side we have about 1.20meters (4 feet)of snow so the
snowmobile(LYNX) feels more apropriate for this time.
But the snow usually melts away in may so i should be ready then.
In kiruna sweden were i live we have 8 months of winter and 4 months of
bad skiing

Have anyone heard about airconditioning in a spitfire? (not you odd i
heard it from you).
