Base coat is on, and threw a few accessories on for color.
It took about an hour to paint, standing in the sunshine of the shed door, to make sure every nook and cranny was covered.
Painting the primer flat black was genius, thanks Chris. The coverage was just the right dark shade.
I had left some panels the primer grey, and those popped out lighter, perfect for a bit of modulation.
Next steps would be to paint on the markings (not much, just fist sized black maple leafs - I have a stencil for that). Then to place the light lenses, front and back - Clear, Orange and Red.
Then I can move on to the weathering.. gloss coat the entire thing, and go with the filters, washes and mud/dust.
It is not turning out too bad. I thought this would be monumental undertaking, and it has, but pacing myself and concentrating on 1 piece at a time has worked out well for me. You know, east the Elephant 1 bite at a time..
Some progress shots..
