Humph... I'm just doing the area above the petrol tank while its down. Not too bad but could do with a touch up before i put a new one back on! Its got hidden bits and pipes and wires and cables and stuff everywhere! I think i know what you're going through! Sympathy on its way!

Ps. Stupid question I know but the bumpers removed I take it, makes it a lot easier.
