@Dalek Ro, as you read trough this thread, the answer you are looking for is likely there. If painting outside, I would scuff lightly, prime and paint. If doing inside, no primer obviously.   My question to you, before I provide my advise, is what look (finish) are you looking for? Painting the inside of the Hemi will give you a shinny finish on the outside, yes but.... i see you are looking at using metallic paint. From my experience, and I may be wrong, metallic finish rises to the top so if you paint the inside of your Hemi with the metallic paint. the metallic look will be inside and not outside. you will have the core color showing out. the other thing to consider, will you be using the Hemi color elsewhere on your Dalek, if so, be aware that you would then have two different finish. that may or may not be fine depending on your desired end result.   Bottom line, best recommendation I can offer is to try on one Hemi. If what ou did is order them from Ali Express, you likely got a few broken ones so try one with inside and one with outside finish and go from there Looking forward to seeing what you decide and have fun!      

OK, great. It would be me, one Dalek, one vehicle and hopefully a minder. I hope to be able to make it and put faces to some of the names of people I've met here!

Happy new year to all! I've been neglecting my duties around the build, but i have some updates! So the chair has been fitted I will upload some pics of this when I can.    This year I will be trying my hardest to finish him off as there is an event I would like to attend in March!    I also have been provided some very nice dome lights from a couple of good friends these will be fitted very soon. My brother is letting me finish my build in his workshop so that should speed things up a tad.  Left to do is 1. Attach the dome and cowl                      2. Hinge the shoulders to the skirt for easier access                      3. touch up the paint in places.                       4. Hook up the electrics for the mart mod and other little things that need doing.  I will post pics as soon as possible I will probably dump a load on here for you to peruse once I've finished the paint job.    Thanks for looking!

@Gharman  hi. That would be fantastic if you could join us ☺️. As long as I know say 2 weeks before as you’re local that will be fine ☺️
