This is an amazing and inspirational piece of work. Top Job! From a piece of land in the corner of the garden to where you are today is mint! Even my girlfriend is impressed! May I ask what you used to paint your track? This is something I want to do on my on circuit but I'm not sure how to prep the surface or what sort of paint to use. Thanks Mikey -------------------- Goldrock GP Circuit

I’ll let you into a secret my wife has only been into the shed, “Slot Shack” twice, she thinks us boys that play with toys are crazy but supports any of silly ventures and even lets me buy the occasional car. As for the paint it’s very expensive I get it from a rather exclusive shop called “Willkinsons”(LOL) it’s called rubberised undercoat it is slightly lighter than on my track as I have added a touch of black paint to mine. It cost under a fiver can’t remember exactly, its very thick and covers really well. As for cleaning the track I suppose you should use some sort of sourer, my track was washed then I just painted over the track it is undercoat after all. -------------------- Ian B

Thankfully my GF is a bit of a petrol head. She... 1) accompanies me to Silverstone for the F1. 2) is very concerned that our Impreza is not an STi incarnation. 3) is more bothered about the price of petrol than bread !!! -------------------- Goldrock GP Circuit
