Rear mudguard
Although I'm supposedly just getting the bike back on the raod I hated the flat red colour that the PO had painted the bike in. Moreover the vehicle's registration document says that it is 'white'.
So over the last week I've sanded the rear mudguard down to the original primer and gievn it a few coats of spray paint. Inbetween each coat I did a light sand wit hfine wet & dry paper. It's turned out OK, but the original coarse aluminium oxide paper made scratches that I've not been thorugh enough to remove. That can wait for the restoration.
