So, after cutting holes and carefully cutting speaker grills, it’s time to paint. So a wipe down with isopropyl and a generous coat or 3 of etch primer, it’s time to get the top coat down.

This one is supposed to be Ford Wildtrak Orange, but at 18:00 as the sun goes down, it’s looking very, err, red.

Next job is a black acrylic splatter finish, followed by a couple of generous coats of Matt solvent free varnish to protect it from the knocks it’s bound to get.

Then…. It will get all the goodies inside and ready to rock…
