Hi zio

I'm also restoring a RK, just have the cab to finish.

The pin had been sitting in a conservatory for I don't know how long which would explain the delamination and fade to grey on the head and the red fading to orange on the cab sides. The red on the pf has also faded to orange but doesn't look bad at all.

There was major insert lifting and a rubbish touch up job covered in mylar on the pf.

I have re-painted the cab a slightly darker red and am not going to put the "Williams" logo on it because IMO it looks shit The top part of the pf has also been painted a darker red as, due to the fading, I had no idea what the original colour was It doesn't detract from the overall appearance.

Here are a few before and after pics.

Andy
