Got home from London tonight and got the suit and tie off as fast as I could, while Nicola made me a coffee, then straight down to the garage to get the paint onto the parts I cleaned up over the weekend.
First thing to do was figure where to paint,meet some hooks and tie spots on a supported scaffolding pole.
You see, it's never as quick or easy as a few photos imply.
Then mask up all the threads after cleaning them, again, as well as the holes where the ball joints will be pressed in.
Then the first coat of paint.
Simple black for most parts.
Got the top and bottom wishbones and brake drum covers done as well as the steering rod.
Lastly the brake drums.
Just gave them a heavy coat of 400'C VHT paint.
I am happy with the changes tonight.
Hopefully the paint will be well dried by Saturday when I get back from Portugal.
