Aye, Justin, the 20 fans took over a week to paint. 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of orange, then 2 coats of laquer.
7 coats in total, and waiting 3-4 hours in between in a nightmare.
Part of the problem was running out of orange spray too, took 2 days for more to arrive.
I used 3 cans of orange, 2 cans of primer and 1.5 cans of laquer in the end for 3 rads and 20 fans.

They are soft rubber for noise dampening, and rubber tends to crack the paint on it when it changes temp due to expansions, so I decided to leave it as it is.

no idea how im going to fill it with fluid now as the fill port on the res is not accessable.
Maybe unscrew the res and angle the top of it forwards.

I just unscrewed the res from the plate and tilted it forwards... easy peasy tbh.
Many improvements make to the tube layout
Which involved 2 seperate trips to OcUK for more fittings
All being leak tested now

yeah they go straight once the res is back mounted up on the tray, not lowered resting on the floor like it is at the moment.

Getting the air out of the loop and into the top of the res is proving to be "fun"
