"tarten" paint................

Is that the stuff that comes out in a pattern with each brush stroke?

Prefer the chequered stuff myself

actualy i was being serious but with scepticism. :oops:

the paint im refering to is the matt black stuff that claims to be heat dispersing, i was wondering if there is ANY truth in the claim?

ps. you cant use a brush with tarten paint you idiots, you will smudge the lines :roll:

ha the track on that anglia looks like something from the chop shop, but done with more style

I was planning to paint my next barrel black, but I really doubt whether it'll make a huge difference to cooling...
