February 20th - Bodywork Painting

Finally in late February, the weather was just warm and dry enough to allow painting. The Jeep has been sitting in primer since November after completion of the welding work.

It still wasn't tropical outside, but warm enough to spray with the garage door open, after which it was closed and the Jeep left to bake with a heater in there.

After it had started to go touch dry, I draped some old bed sheets a little above the painted areas to form a tent. The heater was then left under the tent to keep the warmth from going straight to the garage roof.

I'll leave it several days to fully cure before I start refitting the tank, seat and steering wheel.
