well 10 hours was enough for me, clambering about in and out of the assault course of bars, struts and wires  :laugh: and painting by strip light isnt the best  :lipsrsealed:



now I aint no Mr Thom89 but the finish wasnt important it was more about the protection side of it, as a temporary measure until Mr Hell has the time to do a proper job after our lickle trip away next weekend  :smiley:















and thankfully this had dried before someone  :whistle: started wire brushing above it,  :rolleyes:

All through welding in the seat mounts I have been swearing at what a pain in the backside clambering over all the bars is.  :grin:

Oi!  You'd told me it was dry and I'd been clambering about inside it before that as well!

Huge thanks to Chuff for the help today.

Yes, but paint tends not to spit and burn quite so much and you're off your tits on the fumes anyway.
