Painting a Galv-Bulkhead on the vehicle

Hi,
Time is now running out for me to get CliVE finished ready for
the new self imposed deadline to get to Harry's laning do in
Feb.
I'm wondering if I can put clive back together without painting
the front wings, bulkhead and doors.
Painting ofcourse at this time of the year is a no-no, Sooo
whats peoples opinion do I just put it back together and paint
the bits I can see later or wait and paint?

If your painting panels off the truck, can't you get them
indoors somewhere warm - none of the bits you mention are
particularly big on their own...

Paint it now and be done with it.

Put together and you will be able to use sooner, however if you
choose to paint it you will either need somewhere warm or wait
until the weather warms up a bit.
Something I have toyed with the idea myself, however I have
chosen the wait until warmer path, everything is there just
requires painting.

If you bung it back together to use, then paint later, it'll be
covered in crud and need a lot more prep than the shineyness it
is now. Remember to use a good etch primer on that galv.

Will it ever get done if it goes back together? I know if it was
mine I'd never get around to it.
A halogen light hung up in the shed will warm it up well enough
to stop the paint blooming.

I would deffo paint it now Pete, don't forget galv does not last
forever but it probably will if you give it a decent coat of
paint. I did mine with some special metals primer from Halfords
with DBG on top and it hasn't flaked off or anything.
