Shield is painted...just. The hot weather had not been kind to my stock of paint, and one part can had started to go off, so I was confined to another, smaller can. I try not to leave less than 1/4 of volume of any can (regardless of can size) in storage for longer than several weeks, but sometimes it's unavoidable. The off can was 5 months old. That's Queensland summer for you!

No matter. Best for the paint to cure a bit more anyway, and it can do that out in the sunshine for a day or so.
