It appears that the paint was the problem. Car cellulose just doesn't like my resin bodies.

I slapped some house paint on with a brush and it covered perfectly well. In fact, I'm going to leave the two white Masers as a brush finish.

Whilst I was playing, I did the Bristol with the emulsion I used in one of our bedrooms and that went on OK as well. Another coat and some Klear and I'll be quite happy with it.
   
I suspect that my racing life is over now. Because of where we live and certain health problems, I very much doubt I will be travelling  to any more race meetings. Such is life.

So the cars are just for interest and playing with at home. I'm good enough with a brush to satisfy my need for a reasonable finish so will probably do that in future.
