Towards the end of the year in 2018 I was still painting in the uncommonly warm autumn weather but to be honest I was feeling the pressure and ended up making too many mistakes when painting the engine bay.
I decided back then it wasn't good enough and needed to be sanded back again
Painting - spray painting - large flat(ish) surfaces is way way easier than spraying complicated shapes like this bulkhead. This time with the pressure off I think I've come up with an acceptable finish...
...as you can see I've masked a large area of the bulkhead as one third of it was good. The lines where the paint meet might be a bit of a problem but I'm hoping I can sand them smooth after the paint has hardened...
...tomorrow I'm going back to the workshop for a better look once the paint has dried.
Fingers crossed eh? I don't want to be doing that again in a hurry.
