Our Holiday.
As some of you might remember that we were having a holiday Very Happy so before we were due off, i had to re-address the roof box colour scheme, so this is before

Then the prepping work began, first rubbing down the black to take the primer and then the same again and then the final gloss black coat, sorry no pic of that done Sad

Then after that had hardened off for about 2 weeks i turned the roof box over and got some primer coats on




Click image to enlarge

Then i painted a coat of blue on




Click image to enlarge

I then flattened that to take the final top rattle can coat




Click image to enlarge

So after another 2-3 weeks to harden up i went up to my store and put it on Millie for our adventure

Then once home, she became a bit naked on the back Wink
