Painting Clouds (reprise)...

A short stop by on the way past today but more progress.... The second coat of Hammerite rust beating undercoat is on and that will now dry properly whilst I'm on my hols in Germany before getting a coat or two of smooth dark green hammerite to cover the base layer.

I also swapped the remaining tail lights, front and back, for LED bulbs for better visibility and reliability:

The final job was to repaint the exhaust silver with some very high temperature paint from the USA - Eastwood Silver Exhaust Paint from Frosts in Oldham. Good for 800 degrees fahrenheit, it isn't the cheapest available but it has worn very well on the goddess so should be better, protecting the exhaust from rust as well as looking good. However, the can malfunctioned several times sending paint all over the place (and all over me....) and afterwards, I spent a good deal of time with a white sprit covered cloth hunting the fine overspray which had carried on the almost non-existant breeze! Hey ho, the finished result looks alright:

More news after the hols!!
