Very quick blow over with red oxide .. will give it another quick cover over in 10 minutes, then 30 odd minutes later a quick blow with matt black, and then another coat of matt black tomorrow.
Still waiting on some captive nuts for the wings and hinge, so I'm planning on starting welding later tomorrow to the outrigger then later or wednesday connecting the dots of the various plates and bits to bolt it all together and liberal seam sealer. Then the weekend will be prepping and painting and undersealing it all and jobs a good 'un.
Then it'll be the bit under the windscreen and vent flap .. I have the plate from YRM but it looks like they're tricky cuts, but I'm still learning but wtf, it can't be made much worse ..
I'm not worried that paint coverage is a bit patchy, the second coat and the underseal later will sort all that, I'm only doing it 'cos it's easy to get to right now ..
Red Oxide and Matt Black, the only colours, apart from Fluorescent Orange, in the shed!!
