I think the majority of 2nd gens suffer from cracks on the nose cone. I believe that Rocky has found a way to prevent it so I'll leave it for him to answer this one!!

Thanks for your reply kev

- sorry to ask more questions but did you use a plastic adhesion promoter on the nose cone before spraying the primer ?
and do i take it you used the 2k elastic in the primer' if so was it easy to block and sand ?

Think kev has covered it, but I don't use any adhesion promoter

Not really needed with modern paints but can be used as an extra measure. A lot of the early types had bonding issues.
