Added a few coats of Castile Green.
Always love adding the first few coats. Not real keen on blocking it all back before the next few though :)

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer

Yep, chrome moulds all going back on.
Holes will be readied before anymore colour goes on. (Just a small drill bit :)

She's still sitting there waiting for me to save her. It's at Avoca. I'm in Ulverstone. I just need to find a way to pick it up. (time wise)

I was never a huge fan of the green.
But, now,seeing against the white and imagining all the polished chrome on her I think it'll look nice :)
