Now on to fairing and then painting. I will be fitting the rubrail and sprayrail after fairing and prior to painting.

Thanks for the kind words. :)

Chris, I used 19x19 Tas Oak quad for the spray rails.

I finished the exterior painting today. Pictures have been posted, link below.

I'm not real happy with the finish, a couple of runs, and a bit of bleeding through the masking tape :?, but such is life. I guess I would need to pay a tradesman if I wanted a better finish.

Hopefully I will be able to round up a few mates on the weekend and do the roll over. A promise of a few beers should see it happen. :D

it looks very fair to me. Its hard to not have a tiny run or sag somewhere, no one else will ever notice it.
