Thanks Ian.
Regarding painting over bump strips, i've done that on Mk1s for over 15 years and never once had paint lifting, in fact my cars are so thoroughly prepped that i never get paint peeling anywhere. The laquer completely seals them in anyway so there is no chance of water getting under the paint.
I must have painted dozens of Mk1s in my time and never once had an issue.
Pics from yesterday, polishing has begun....
Roof also painted...
