From Dawn 'Til Dusk:
I am really running out of time to finish this paint job, as even now September is drawing to a close.

So I was up and out as the sun was gently rising in the East this morning.



I then left my small tin of yellow paint in a bowl of warm water.



While I peeled off the covers and applied some fresh 'normal' masking tape around the edge of the yellow tape.



I'd also made a dripping mess of the inside of the nose opening when applying the first coat.



I'll come back and remove the yellow another day, but for now, I just added some tape over the top.



I then applied the second coat of yellow.





I had to put my faith in the weather forecast and simply leave the front end uncovered all day.



Unfortunately, I made the mistake of taking a last look at the nose as I headed off for work at 7.50am.

As there were too HUGE running in the paint, where gravity, the slope of the nose & my poor painting technique had combined.

Still, at least I didn't have my camera with me and the street lights were already on by the time I got home at 7.30pm.

So I just pulled the covers back over and will prep this for a third coat as soon as I get the chance.

Until next time, take care, Paul.
