Close, But No Cigar…
The good news is that I finished sanding the rest of the body shell this morning.
The bad news is that I ended up with a collection of new 'bald' patches.
So there was another round of high build primer top ups.
I'll leave that to fully dry overnight and start applying the BRG tomorrow morning.
While the high build primer was out, the bonnet got its second and final coat.
So I can start sanding that down tomorrow.
The bracket for the rear view mirror wind deflector also got a coat of high build primer.
Then I turned the boot lid from grey...
To Deep Brunswick Green.
Where I got it right, the surface is really good 'straight out of the brush'.
But I am still getting very small areas with an adverse reaction.
Now I know the top coat is supposed to be applied as a single thick coat.
But I think I will try to apply it as two thinner coats when I start on the body shell tomorrow to see if that helps.
It looks like I will be back to 'real work' from next Monday, so I just have to get on with it really.
The only silver lining to this cloud is that the bad spots are a tiny percentage of the overall surface area.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
