P-Day - Part 2
Without a doubt, this was my best application of the BRG to date.
( No big scaling effects, just the odd wrinkle here and there. )
As I tried very hard to avoid going back over any thin areas, or going back to runs after they formed.
There was always going to be an issue keeping a 'wet' edge due to both the heat and the size/shape of the body shell.
So to say I was very happy with this first coat would be a massive understatement.
I then had a few errands to run before I could head out to the
Circus Tent and start sanding the bonnet.
Following
Gary's earlier advice, I didn't lose any sleep over the odd 'bald' patch that appeared.
I then switched to a small, one inch, brush in an attempt to limit the amount of paint I was applying.
But by now, I was working in some serious heat and by the time I'd finished, I had to open the sides of the tent to avoid passing out.
So I wasn't actually too disappointed when a rash of "scales" appeared at various point all over the bonnet.
And even though it is hard to get a decent photo, the bracket for the rear view mirror screen is now BRG too.
Apart from packing things away for the night, that is all for today.
I'm meeting one of my mates later on for a pint and I think I have earned it.
So I will leave you with this shot of the body shell baking in the sunshine.
Take care, Paul.
