It's fun to ....

Richard, that is exactly what I am doing/having!

That little CIRY engine had a bad xmas. I made a new wash and put it in the cabinet. Later that night the 1208 should get a black wash. I got the bottle, a brush and made the first stroke. Nothing happened... may be I made the wash to light? Ok, another deeper dip in the bottle and another stroke on the hood. The hood turned solid black
The bottle was fresh unused black paint with all the solvent (like water) on top covering the black paint.... I interchanged the bottles
Don't ask me why I did not label the new wash immediately....

The engine got disassembled and a nice bath in solvent. I toke the chance and got a new rattle can when the shops opened after xmas with a darker blue better matching the standard blue of CIRY (the ditch lights are still the old light blue).
