    1872 SGT NEW TO ME. JUST BOUGHT IT A MONTH AGO.

    I have finally decided to go original paint just to keep the proper nostalgia about the cub, I was wrestling with the idea of a change but I'm pretty much a purist at heart so that is the way I must go!

    1872 SGT NEW TO ME. JUST BOUGHT IT A MONTH AGO.

    yes, the XT1/XT2 paint style. i think my 1872 would look the part as a modernized classic with a new paint style. and seeing how my CCC is not a true IHCC i feel more at peace within myself doing some changes to the tractor,

    Painting the rims or not

    well, I can only say this one last thing about ICI 1 STEP. it does not leave a thick coating on the metal, it is a liquid (like milk) penetrant which gets into the poor of the metal and converts rust chemically, works like Alodine to protect aluminum from corrosion on aircrafts. this is why i...

    I will try to find some contact info, however i think the contacts I can get are aircraft specific, maybe they can direct us cub guys to another area of their company to help us with our needs? give me a little bit of time and I will post as soon as I can figure out the contacts.

    Painting the rims or not

    NEVER used the pro15 product so I cannot say for sure, I think por15 is a multiple step product from what I remember. so for now I can only recommend ICI 1 STEP from personal experience.
