Sunday Afternoon Redemption:
I took a break from car work to lick my wounds and watch a film to take my mind off it.
Then had a quick look at the forum and saw
Gary's post and decided to get back to work…
I had a look around the body shell and the wrinkling was neither as deep nor as wide spread as before.
So that has all been sanded down, but I can't put any fresh paint on today.
( As I will have to put the covers on before it would have had a chance to dry fully. )
Still, as
Gary rightly pointed out, it does look miles better in green, even if the finish is rough.
Plus the 'Hall of Mirrors' effect that I could see in the paint on the side of the cockpit made me smile.
Thankfully, the tent would protect any fresh paint, so the mess I made was sanded off.
I also realised that the way I painted the 'groove' between the headlight and bonnet nose was always going to 'pool' the paint.
To say I was being careful when I added some paint to the bonnet would be an understatement.
In fact, I was pleased to see that I didn't actually get full coverage on this first pass.
Even so, it is still a big improvement from where I was earlier today.
Given how my day started, I wasn't expecting it to end on a high note.
So until next time, take care, Paul.
