Our car’s bright-red paint was
photogenic but a mess in person, holding
back the condition grade for the whole car
Though the paint was applied relatively well, it
bore the hallmarks of bad preparation: wavy
sheet metal, scratches from poor sandpaper
selection, and painted trim obviously left in
place during the respray.

The article on re-painting the engine bay was useful. Something mine needs, but didn’t want to have to remove engine and gearbox. (Might have to do though, as I still haven’t managed to sort the speedo drive.)

I took the opportunity to paint the engine bay whilst engine was out ….. a lot easier.
