Whoops.. i forgot the enamel part, its "acrylic urethane enamel"
4 parts paint 1 part hardener, i thin it no more than 10%.
It shrinks a lot when fully cured, so i spray it nice & thick.

Today i managed to get the snapper painted plus a few chainsaw parts, next i will paint the wheels then put it all back together.
I only used 1.5 litres of red paint, 2 pack paint goes a long way.
