Rust Demons X- The Paint Booth
With some trepidation I approached Wednesday evening's activities in the
paint booth.  This was not quite idle fear, the instructor had managed to
give me "polka-dotted" glasses previously when testing a spray can of
undercoat.  However, having sanded more times than I wish to remember,
taped, paper wrapped, plastic wrapped, masked and be-goggled we entered the
spray booth.
It took longer to tape the work than it did to paint it, and by the time the
paint was dry two hours had passed.
The paint job was good; pity the color didn't match the rest of the truck.
Today I have to go back to the store and see if they can add something to my
paint to get it closer.  Then I have more spots to work on and maybe a
better match to blend into the rest.  Next year, maybe I paint the whole
thing, maybe not.
Here endith the body class saga.
Need some parts because you're creative?  Try http://www.mcmaster.com/# ,
they got lots of hardware.
Also, http://www.fastenal.com/web/home.ex , but locally they can be a pain.

ed- Yes I did say, "polka-dotted", since he danced across my face with the
undercoating  like a Bavarian couple high stepping to an accordion band
during Oktoberfest. That's when I learned about Prep-Sol, since it didn't
damage my plastic lenses.
