The nose panel is finally finished! With fairly stiff wind gusts and council working on the dirt road (wind blowing my way, hooray!!!), I continued with painting as scheduled.

Each coat required a light going over with a tack cloth, and gentle removal of selected pieces of crap. Winds decreased just prior to final coat, which was a great blessing because final coat was mostly reducer with a 'hint' of actual paint. That coat was basically to flatten the sheen further.

Cont'd...
