Thanks Everyone, thats most informative. Mine are also behind the centre support currently, but they need remaking, so the inboard sounds like place to go. By the way, has anyone got pages 19 - 32 of

The better the prep the better the finish. I am using PPG. Whatever you use make sure it is all the same product after the two part primer/sealer. There are a lot of guys on the list with good tips.
