hi guys im nearly ready to use the model Y ive put together and for this year im gonna run it as it is and hopefully paint at the end of the season. i dont want the body to get worse than it is so i was thinking of lightly scotch brighting the rusty panels and lacquering the car for a little protection.

so my question is what sort of lacquer do i use and is there a certain way to lay it on?

A matte or satin lacquer would look best over rust but bear in mind that if your going to reprint it later in the year then your pretty much wasting money now as it'll all have to come off again.

For that reason get rattle can stuff as said above, you won't have too much money tied up in it.

Looks a sweet little car too
