Oh, the model 18 donor chassis I'm using is cadmium plated so I'll be using an etch primer undercoat as well... but I'll wait until I get the chassis configured correctly before worrying about painting it.

One other thing I have done is try to duplicate the chassis badges.
   

The best one was done by ironing a reversed colour laser print of the artwork (which I recreated in Inkscape) on to a thin piece of aluminium, then soaking in water and carefully rubbing the paper off... the others were done with various different acetone methods and didn't work that well.  I'm still experimenting with this to try and get a good transfer.
There are no personal problems that can't be overcome with the liberal application of high explosives
