The kids wondered if I'd build a tiny canoe to go with it! Cheeky buggers...
Quick question: I was planning to start colour coats this week in the evenings but there's rain forecast all week - I'm assuming that moisture in the air isn't conducive to a good result. Should I sit tight and wait for clear weather?

I tend not to do any finishing with any product in rainy weather. Timber absorbs moisture, if you seal it in it's there for quite a while, then there is the whole orange peel or cloudy issues depending on the finish type

Thanks Dedman, it'll be painful to sit tight but no doubt worthwhile.

I know, I've been waiting for weeks for the planets to align so I have fine weather at the same time I have the time to finish painting my ES-5V, I only have the clear coats to go!

The good news is my decal paper arrived yesterday so I printed out some logos and applied one this morning. Much easier than I thought it would be so quite excited to have made some progress, albeit small, in the build!

looking good Chuck, love the body holder you made. Decal looks good.
As others have said best wait for the weather to fine up before spray painting
