Before assembling the float set we suggest to remove all the flash by using 200-grit sandpaper.
The float set is not necessary to paint. If you would like to paint the float and (or) other parts, this is the time
to do it. Any fuel-proof paint and do not damage ABS material may be used. Please be aware of the
dangers that the use of some paints brings, if any doubt contact your paint supplier.
Before Painting carefully sand every part using 400 grit sandpaper, then use a mixture of water and a few
drops of washing up liquid to remove any trace of dirt from the parts.
We do not recommend painting the bottom of the floats.
