Jones - Cheers Ian.
Thankfully, I've broken the back of the painting work, so now I just need to finish it off.

Another Step Closer:
Apologies for the blurred photo, but I sanded the last of the repair areas on the body shell on Thursday.
Then I had some time today to get some BRG over the repairs and leave the body shell uncovered for the paint to dry.
Note: You can clearly see the two different shades on green on the cockpit sides.
Which is why I plan to add a final top coat over, so ensure it is all the same colour in the end.
Given the fact I ordered another tin of paint to ensure I had enough, I'm not 100% sure what shade the final colour will be.
At least this was the first time I managed to get any BRG on these two areas without any wrinkles appearing.
Back in the tent, I cut up another wire hanger so I could paint both of these things at the same time.
I added some fresh paint to the bottom inside edge of the passenger hump on the boot lid.
Note: I've started to flat back the middle of the boot lid in preparation for the final coat.
The repaired areas around the bonnet nose were also given another coat of BRG.
I now have just a week before the tent needs to come down so the tree surgeon can tackle the garden.
With a bit of luck I think I will be able to finish all the painting of these parts in that time.
Although the final flat, cut & polish may have to take place on the driveway.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
