Primer on the 'Breakfast'; Test Fit of Apron

Spotting a windless morning out there, I left the office and took a few minutes to put two coats of primer on the 'breakfast', steering column, and a couple of small parts. The primer, a 2k aerosol from Eastwood, went on really well, and is very nice to work with. There's an average amount of coverage in a can, one can doing the 'breakfast' and othe other parts before running out (although to be fair, it did both sides of the breakfast, twice). A pleasant if inconsequential surprize was that the primer colour is remarkably close to Limestone. Not that these parts will end up that colour in the end, but it may come in useful when doing the roof!

One note: this primer must not be applied over a self-etch primer. I had debated using a thin coat of self-etch to help adhesion, but luckily had a look at the product description download from Eastwood, here, where this is indicated. I may have missed it, but didn't see this indicated anywhere else.

Having the 'breakfast' primed means that both it and the bulkhead can receive their Pastel Green colour together, once the bulkhead is back, and then the rest of the engine-related parts plus pedals, etc., can be installed.

And, as ever, the colour looks closer to a white than Limestone in the photo....

Also did a test fitting of the apron, which will also need a new coat of primer after some shipping scratches are removed. Didn't realise that the bumper bolts would need removing in order to install the apron, but that's minor. This is a nice quality piece, with the rubbing strips already installed on the sides.
