[Too Many Projects]

Been a long since an update. I did metal work both of the doors back to something acceptable and then layed on the filler. With the help of my body guy, they are quite decent. I should take some pics...
I didn't have time to work on this for the past several months and only recently started giving it some attention. The trunk has been done except for caulk for a long time and I, finally, did that Sunday and painted it today. I REALLY don't like painting black. It's so difficult to see coverage and stripping and in the trunk was especially bad. I knew I had to do something to get the overspray out quickly to see what I was doing, so rigged up my air cleaner to the window.




I sealed off the other openings in the body so it would draw air thru the trunk and it worked great. I sprayed 24 oz of paint in there and this is the mask I wore. No black paint to speak of on it.





I used my little 9 oz touch up gun and with the hose attached was still too tall to really work easily in there. I need to find a 90 degree adapter for the end of the gun to turn the filter/regulator 90 degrees.





Paint is only about 15 minutes old, so still rather shiny. It dulls down to a very nice semi gloss when cured.
