here's some more progress
after the paint was left to dry some small lumps needed sanding my fault for forgetting to put the filter on the spray gun dip tube

bumps

sanded with 1500 grit wet'n'dry

4th and 5th coat of paint was applied


while the parts were drying i changed the fuel filter and did a oil and filter change


some time later they were dry




and here's 2 of the parts fitted in the car

then disaster i picked up the ashtray it sprung open and i dropped it on the the main console part

so looks like I've got some repairs to do tomorrow with the paint i have left 🙁
