Rain Dance...
It seems that whenever I've taken the chance to work outside recently, the storm clouds gather.

So today, I was only prepared to risk unwrapping the bulkhead to get some black paint on.

The crush tube work has now "blended in" with the general rough finish of the bulkhead.





The edges where the cross brace was welded on now look OK too.



And you have to look closely to see where the extra holes in the bulkhead were.





By the time I'd finished the painting the sky looked like this.



But the paint was too wet to put the cover on, so I just had to take a chance.

Touch wood, so far it hasn't rained, so the paint should be dry enough for the cover to go back on shortly.

I know Mac sprayed this stuff on his Navigator, but it looks like it can be brushed on too.
Although clearly using a brush / roller will not give the nice even finish that he achieved.
However I really want to protect the metal work on the bulkhead, floors, rear arches, etc.
I also want to make sure the under side has been treated before I bolt everything to the chassis.
There is still a bit of work to do before everything is ready to be bolted down.
But the good news is that I am slowly inching my way towards that point.

Until next time, take care, Paul.
