I cleaned and installed the half part of the hub lockers and ordered the o-ring seals for the outer part. Also i painted and installed the steering parts after i disassembled them and greased-oiled them. They were not damaged so i put them back on..

Nice work! What are you using for paint? Parts look beautiful!

Thanks vfrer. I use different types of paint. The glossy black paint is anti corrosion alcyd base. The mat chassis paint is two components polyurethane paint for extra strength. In every part i paint, i use epoxy anti corrosion primer for the first layer for better bondage of the paint. The gold you see on the hub lockers is water base paint for exterior use. They told me it's very strong paint. The only parts i painted without primer are the engine and the gearbox (haven't paint that yet). I have read that direct alcyd base paint is perfect for engine blocks and that's what i did. Finally except the engine that i painted with a brush, on all the other parts i use air compressor with spray gun. It's a little hard to clean it all the time for minor jobs, but the result is perfect...
 
Thank you for your detailed answer.
Could you, perhaps, upload pics of the teen boxes used? That could offer more info on the material used.

Cheers and good luck with your wine endeavours! Hopefully you will upload sample pics of your 2022 vintage! 🍇🍷

I can upload some pics of the boxes, but i think it would be difficult for the most of the members here to understand, because most of them are greek products that can't be found in other countries...
