The main parts are painted, they took a bit longer than planned because I thinned the paint (Alkyd Enamel) as per the instructions, 20% thinners for spray application, and it turned out to be way too thin and I got loads of runs so i had to leave it to harden off and then flat the runs off and then paint it agin but this time at 10% thinners. In the picture it looks a bit bluer than it does in the flesh. The colour is RAL 7000.

It's coming along nicely, John. Alkyd enamel runs easily even when properly reduced because it dries so slowly. It does make nice machinery paint though.
