Practicing spraying and have caught the bug, no, not that one.....

Practiced spraying today on the underneath of the engine cowl. I used 10% thinners and hammerite and achieved not too bad a result. The cleaning afterward was as painful as i remember however.

Also had a shoddy surround on the dials which turned out to be a solid chunk of metal that can be polished to an acceptable finish.

Got the restoration bug now.... well and proper...
