This was today’s progress after work. Four coats of Rust - Oleum IH red paint by spray gun. It’s a worker so I’m not necessarily going for show quality. Almost at the finish line.

Today’s progress, just decals, throttle and choke handles with some fine tuning now. Inching closer to the finish but it’s now a runner.
