hi matey

ive got a big green sheet to cover it! all thoe you wet and dry and wash primer before painting then allow too dry it doesn't like too be constantly soaked, hopefully it will stay dry long enougth for me too paint it, im going too keep it white i want too stay as original as possible.

well with all this nice weather i couldn't resist i ended up with the masking tape out and the brown paper followed by the urge too spray :) and here's the final results.

i am happy with the results there's a couple of spots that need rubbing back but  other than that i am well chuffed with my first go at spraying. spraying in a disposable suit with hood, gloves, goggles and a mask in this weather was a nightmare on its own i had sweat pouring off me!!! left it for a hour pulled the paper off and hay presto.

what you guys think?
