i used a barbeque, satin spray paint, not sure i'd use that again tho, held up fine on the cylinder fins , rockers ect ,
any spilt petrol tho tends to remove it , so don't throw petrol on your barbeque coz it don't arf bugger the paint work up ,

Cheers, its ok for me, by no means a mint re-con - sympathetic I think they call it,

It matches the colour & the symbol 51 Squadron RAF regiment had put on one in Saudi Arabia 1991,

it was a long long time ago now, but it is good to have hold of an MT,

This one I have to keep & pass on.
