Cab roofs.
The GN S-2 and two Burlington's (O-5/B) get oxide red roofs.
The two Burlington's have operational cab vent hatches so had to move them after the 'first spray' coat to get full coverage.
When 'spraying', corners and edges are first , then a 'coat' is applied via all 4 directions via about 45 degrees and then once (or more) at 90 degrees to the surface.
I forgot that I usually masked off the smoke box and cab at the same time and do both at once as they are far enough apart not to get 'over spray'.
Didn't quite get all the tape sealed and had some 'over spray' around the cab but some soapy water and a toothpick removes it before putting them in the oven.
