Engine Bay Painting Complete... And a few other bits.

I rubbed the engine bay down with 1200-grit wet and dry and got the final coats of paint on it today. The only bit of Teal Blue that's left to paint is a small patch on the bonnet landing panel where I'd filled a small dent but the finish wasn't perfect so I took it all off and did it again!

I also had time to put the final coats of paint on the engine (using a slightly less garish colour, actually I think it's gone too far the other way now but it goes with the blue so that's fine) and paint a few bits with black hammerite.

Finally, I turned my attention to the second-hand water pump which was perfectly servicable but not pretty enough to grace this car's engine bay now ;-)
