Thanks again guys, useful and sensible suggestions all round. I have been rolling mine into the hot sun each day and also I spoke with three DRB owners at the Sunshine Coast that had their cars done at a Maroochydore painter. He suggests a good body bake as well and then fully body prep, painting of underbonnet area around motor and then motor/g'box fitting. Then removal of all external bits before final painting. An interesting compromise. The ones done here said that there were no major overspray probs that way.
