Well now that I am back in country I have actually had a bit of time to get some prep work done. At last I have been able to get started on bringing my ride back together. Here's some pics from this mornings efforts.

I used a gun/compressor to do the job. I used Sikkens paint and had the Sikkens rep spent quite some time at the house working out which was the best way to do the engine bay. After cleaning up the fire damaged paint it was sanding, and dulling the good paint with scotchbrite, then degrease with M600, tack cloth, Washprimer CR which is an etch primer over bare metal parts , then colour build primer sealer over whole engine bay and then an unusal mix of basecoat and clear coat mixed together (this is not something to do for exterior panels though.)
Heres a pic of the Sikkens gear (about 2/3 of it anyway)
