This afternoon I've been doing mostly wood-worky stuff, till I got rained off.
Should've extended those top rails back over the reflectors by an inch. No, I'm not changing it now!

Actually, we had several downpours of hail & something that looked suspiciously like a flurry of snow. Bloomin' cold too.

Dropped in to see Mr Lunatic at his new workshop yesterday & he welded the numberplate bracket for me, so I could nip it over to the powder coater. Nice to see him again, though it took me ages to find the place.
Had a delivery from Woolies Trim. Some runners for the pick-up bed. Nice.
So spent some time this afternoon cutting them to length & drilling them.

Then I painted the bed. Had a panicky moment when I managed to knock over the tin of paint on the pick-up bed & had to hurriedly brush it all out flat. Got it painted a lot quicker though.

Wrong colour. Bugger.
I was going to treat myself to a day out at a steam rally tomorrow, but think I'd be better off spending the day in the garage trying to catch up a bit. Haven't really achieved much with my week off -but had some nice afternoons out, which is what holidays are for isn't it.
Just out of interest, is it possible to spray cellulose aerosol paint over brushed on wood paint? I'm assuming this is oil based, but got no idea really. Is it likely to react?

That's what I figured Mr Mutt.
Ahh, hadn't thought of paint matching. Obvious! Thanks. That's tomorrow morning's job then.

Why didn't I think of getting the paint matched?! Because I'm an idiot, that's why, obviously. Sometimes I worry about my own sanity.  I've been in & out of B & Q half a dozen times in the past week & walked past the paint matching bit every time. Muppet. So- paint matched & 2 coats painted on. Not too bad at all. |

Nope, I've worked hard to get that position.
Painting? No problem. I've got plenty of green left over.
