Don't you just hate it when.......??

Post by agnoraan »

Don't you just hate it when something goes wrong and spoils your day. I was feeling quite pleased with the progress on making the drivers sidescreen after finisheg the passenger side and figured i would have enough time to finish the drivers side off for Silverstone until this happened .

There was an 8" scratch down to the primer across the top of the passenger wing. It got caught by a piece of aluminium . GRRRR!!!!


The only thing to do is to flat it down and paint the wing. I really don't have time for this......... :evil:

Put a yellow/red/white team stripe on it.

Take no notice of them Nige,
It looks fine covered in brown paper....

And with only one panel edge to mask off to, you've got to blend it in everywhere else, not easy Nige, but you are the man with the guns.

Just thought, you've got stripes, which makes it a little better

Just a quick update to finish this off. I managed to get the wing repaired and painted pretty sharply and was "on a mission" to get it done for Silverstone. Thankfully it all blended in nicely and you can't see the join, woo hoo!!

Memo to self,..."I must be more careful in future" :lol:

I did conduct a close inspection at Silverstone. You should do this for a living! :P
