		Just sitting here chilling in my shorts watching the rain start to fall and realised my half painted (just had its 3rd base coat) strut brace is hanging from the washing line. 
 
Well thats gonna be ruined, ARSE!

		How long had it been sat for? I left my manifold in the rain once after having a coat of paint, was sat about 20-25mins, it was chucking it down I went out expecting it to be shit, got too it and the water fell off it, I dried it with a hair dryer and all was good

		Just stuck my head out the window and there's no blue puddle underneath it and the water is beading nicely on top of it so hopefully OK. Ill check properly once the rain has stopped. I hate this f*cking weather. 
 
Its an ally brace so I was giving it a blue hammerite base coat before a colour coded top coat.
