Well that was a close run thing! Almost made a complete balls up of the paintwork! Did the grey stripe last night so this evening I thought I'd be a clever b****** and make the transition between the grey and light blue a bit softer so used blue tack to form the edge. Well of course once the paint had dried a bit and I took off the blue tac, discovered a very wavy line
I then re-measured the width of the grey stripe to go back to using masking tape and discovered there was some significant overspray so like an idiot I dabbed some isopropanol and ALL the paint came, blue grey and even primer... taking it right down to bare plastic!!! aghhhhhhh!!!
Thankfully I had plenty of grey left over so was able to overcoat the bad spots, but this does set my timescale back as I'm now back to where I was yesterday and I still need to remask and paint light blue! I will have a go later tonight in abotu 3 hours to give the grey time to dry out more so at least I can mask the gry out and spray the light blue later tonight.
In the meantime I did spray the stand to match
and the fuel tanks sprayed with the dark blue from yesterday's test
Fingers crossed I don't screw up again!
