Here are the newly-fabricated, freshly-painted pieces for the Ascot’s aesthetic upgrade. They are hung on wires suspended from a piece of twine, which makes painting all sides much easier than laying them down flat on newspaper. They are painted with brushed-on Tremclad enamel paint, which is cheap and durable. Spray paint is definitely easier for complex and tube parts like these, but hey - brushing is cheap and I had a can of paint kicking around already!

From left to right, the pieces are:

headlight bracket

warning light bracket

instrument cluster/turn signal bracket

(not for the Ascot) magnetic spotlight holder

turndown exhaust tip (painted in BBQ spray paint for heat durability)
