It rained here a day or two ago,
you know, free car wash.
this is what coats my car already.

here is the culprit about 5 meters away.
I used to live in the lovely old >100yrs old house that was on top of this hole.

so late in the arvo once they had packed up I got into a little painting again.
Got the bezel off, sanded and primed,
got the grill off (put it through the dishwasher

to degrease before I will repaint it black), and stuck some rubber foam around the place to hopefully stop the noisy vibration/rattle that happens.
I got a couple of coats of white on the bezel, one or two more tomorrow if the air isn't too dusty.
oh, and this is the dash panel and glovebox lid in my van just before I dropped them off to the platers.
dash panel stripped clean- they are going to patch the two little holes on either side of the stereo hole.

glove box door not stripped- they will do it for me. Tacho surround has by now been simply painted black (was plastic and this mob couldn't plate it).
