Chances of getting murdered by that spider are low.....but never zero

I'd rather live where the only dangerous spiders are Fiats.

Okay..................................I'm still alive.............................I've not been bitten. 
Got a bit of painting done today but I have also discovered that my SMS paints and the "One Go" floor polish do not mix well. The floor polish likes to take the paint off and subsequently some patching has had to be done. All sorted now and tomorrow I'll apply some SMS clear spray to seal in the paintwork.

Looking good Vic.
I think I would have applied a lump hammer to that spider !
I hate the things - got bitten by a False Widow back in 2015, and I still have a scar about 25 mm in diameter.

That would not have been nice and I can understand your dislike of them and we do the stomping when we know it is one that could harm us an this little fellow was not one of them, so he lived to roam free............................'OUTSIDE.'

Sucks about the clear. I've got half a bottle of Future left and then I'll have to start looking for a new source

Nice paint and colors Vic.
I have Pledge One Go for under and over decals, seems to work a treat for me.

Thanks again gents for stopping by. Not much to show as I spent most of the day splashing on a protective layer or two on the paintwork. However I did manage a couple of hoiurs on the bench and sorted the hydraulic line on the oleo legs. I'll give them a bit of a paint tomorrow and then work on highlighting the panel lines.
