Thanks snipersmudge and Robbo. After copious amounts of VMS softener. Not happy with it yet.

If you already know this then just ignore this post. Ages ago I saw on YouTube someone emptying paint from a can into a bottle so they could brush paint. Gave it a go because I just needed a tiny bit to clean up a seam line. The paint is very watery but the trick did work.

It will go down, Tommy, I'm sure. Neat trick that about the paint.

Decals can be tricky at times, but it looks like you have it sorted Tommy . Joe, the decanting trick is to take off the hot action of the rattle can paint. If you don't do it can "cook" (bubble) away in your AB and give the seals a good work-over It's best left over night, to let it really settle down to normal paint levels.

Engine is fitted. I like the way Wash for DAK vehicles ages the look of bare metal parts.
