Time to mask the black paint in preparation for the two coats of red. It took ages to mask this lot using pinstripe masking tape cut into small sections. After about an hour of making sure that everything was suitably masked, the body was ready for more paint...
Back to the paint booth...
The painting is the easy bit.
Two coats of Halfords paint later...
Compared with the other London body, the colour match is reasonable. Only a slight bit of overspray to correct and a small bit of black paint came away with the masking, which has already been touched-in.
These are Wrenn waterslide transfers. Although Fox also make transfers, these are a better fit and are the correct size for the nameplate.
After allowing to dry, this is the result...
Just waiting for the linings to arrive, then the tender needs more work as it's plastic and is in pretty poor condition.
