new addition to my safety equipment:

HANS with sliding tethers and quick release anchors





And the weekend of painting is over!! Pete, you were absolutely correct... this was a very long, exhausting process. I went into the weekend quite tired after being up for 24 hrs straight and pulling an all nighter for work. Friday night was spent moving stuff around in my warehouse and building the paint booth.

Satuday morning was spent finishing the booth and final prepping. We actually didn't start painting until about 2pm. We did 3 coats Saturday and into Sat. evening.. then I had to get some sleep.

Sunday was a couple light coats to help even things out. I can say after all this that I won't ever do it again, but I'm glad I learned how. I should have bought or rented a better spray gun, since the one I had wasn't the best and it shows. Got orange peel? Yes... but honestly who cares. It looks great from 10 feet back, and ok up close. I'll have more pics later this week when I re-assemble the exterior parts. On to the pictures!!
