Well old Murphy has struck again and the dust fairies.
Almost forgot to clear coat the body so gave it a clear coat and the dust fairies have hit it :roll: Also forgot to paint the mirrors and found two small bits that go each side of the front panel and go around to the front fenders :roll: why they done that bugger if I know. dunno
So I go looking for the colour I mixed up for this one only to find I used it all up pullinghair far out so now I have to try mix up the same colour :roll: ya right.
So now I going to have a Coffee and calm down and most likely pack this little shit away. pullinghair

Round three painting this bugger and dust fairies hit it but not to bad will light sand it off before I clear coat it crossed pray This is the last go at it if it buggers up again it goes in the bin.

Good to you see not giving up thumbsup

Sometimes we have to live with a few flaws in the paint, will never be perfect.
Does it need a clear coat looks pretty good to me.

The clothes you wear when painting can give of dust fairies.
