Hi Craig,

all I seem to be doing is bogging and sanding, makes for some pretty boring pics. Here are the most interesting of the lot.

Started experimenting with the boot colour, mixed a bit of white with black 10:1 and looks good enough for me. Thats the top colour. The bottom two are standard black and a matting agent added to black which I'll use in the engine bay. I want the bay to be between satin and flat.

Getting ready to assemble K Frame, just need to paint the bits that swing first.

Work got a bit hectic so the revised time for colour is mid Jan.

Working on painting the boot and engine bay next.

Marty

Boot is painted. Used black with 10% white paint. It may not be totally the right colour but from what I've heard as long as it's not black it should be ok.
