S1 Elise – Suspension Refresh – Wishbones etc POR15 Rust Preventive Paint

With all the preparation done. Finally it’s time to actually get some paint on these parts.

Obviously the wishbones are a bit of an awkward thing to paint so I attached a bit of fishing line to each of them so I could hang them while painting and to dry.

No time to stop for lunch, need to get the next coat on within time. Glad I have an understanding wife!
