Another visit to the garage from Mr BayChimp this afternoon provided the much needed shove to get on & paint this thing. Thanks Bob
So, a litre of paint later, (9 aerosols) it's now a slightly darker shade of green. I don't think you'd really notice the difference unless you had the original colour to compare it with.
I warmed the garage for an hour or so before I started, turned my 2 little butane heaters off while I sprayed, then put them back on for a couple of hours after the dust had settled.
No obvious runs anywhere, but several "dry" patches. Will these come up again when I go over the whole lot with wet 1500 or 2000 grit paper, or will I need another, slightly heavier "wet" coat?
I'll resist the urge to do anything with this now until the weekend, but need to get more paint mixed anyway for the bulkhead, radiator grille, dashboard &, of course, doors.
