Prowler

[Catteeclan]

so I finished the masking of the wheels and got them sprayed, I 'm pleased with the result considering I should really have stripped the wheels back to bare, still hope it doesn't come back to haunt me,

masking the edge to the polished area is quite easy on the rear wheel as the 'cross section' is reasonably flat, the front wheel has a curved raised edge to the polished area and it is almost impossible to just stick the masking tape neatly to the edge, so I just overlapped the edge and then used a sharp blade to cut as neatly as I could against the line, doing this reminded me of my age and how my eyesight has become not so brilliant

(I used to be able read a registration plate at the required distance with binoculars no trouble, now I need special glasses just to find my binoculars  :unsure2: )

anyway with the help of nothing I did ok

as with many paint jobs the preparation and masking takes so much longer than you think, a day versus half an hour to paint

Like the colour.
