| The BIG day finally arrived ! I've been anxiously awaiting this day and dreading it since screwing up the headliner. I've put |
|
| perhaps too much emphasis on having a nice interior, and as I approach the final paint step, I was scared to death I'd screw it |
|
| up. Painting is really NOT my forte. But this am, I filled a couple of pits that i'd overlooked previously, cleaned the droppings from |
|
| the rear footwells, and reprimed them. Then sanded all of the primed metal surfaceslightly w/ 320 grit. Vacumed up as much of |
|
| the dust as I could get, and then took some tack rags and wiped the entire cabin interior down several times. grabbed the |
|
| fineline tape and masking supplies I picked up on Sat. and masked everything on the interior. Nothing left to do but to spray it. |
|
| Mixed the paint (Sherwin Williams Ultra Interior Auto paint color matched to the upholstery leather seats). Judy held the air hose |
|
| and fed me the gun after I climbed in and trued my best to keep my rear and other parts from bumping into wet paint. With |
|
| Judy's coaching. we got it done. I ran out of paint and only got two coats on the aft portion. I'll lget another pint mixed tomorrow |
|
| and shoot another couple of coats on the aft section. I did end up with 2 small runs and 1 drip/ After the paint cures for a week or |
|
| two. I'll sand them and touch them up with the air-brush. |
