Ok Neil, here goes....

The tail has been repainted for about three weeks now, and paint is actually still sticking.

Unlike last time when it was painted red with outdoor house paint, just to seal up the bodywork, this time it was painted with actual automotive paint, and just to keep things interesting, the paint still mismatches slightly.





I did not paint the upper section of the tail because I'm still not sure that the angle is shallow enough to prevent some flow separation. Need to do a tuft test.
