After hours and hours of blocking and priming and devoting all our attention to even the slightest detail in the body lines and minor imperfections, the final coats of paint have been applied.
We moved Morris into the paint booth on Friday afternoon and began the process of masking and cleaning the body. A foam rod with an adhesive strip is applied to the surface of the trunk, door and engine compartment openings.
The doors, boot lid and bonnet are then set in place resting against the foam. This process allows the edges of the openings and doors to be coated simultaneously without the use of masking paper and tape; a real time-saver.
The wheels are bagged and the grille opening is masked. Then, that beautiful shade of green single stage paint is applied.
Monday morning, Morris will be moved back to the shop for final assembly.
Exciting times are ahead...
