Default Started my first Paint Job today

Some of you were aware I was attempting my own paint job for the first time. After much ado...I got the first coats of Sealer on today. Only problem I had was realizing it would be real beneficial to have a second person in there with me to handle the hose...

Looking good. You are getting closer all the time. Did you paint it in the garage that you posted pics of earlier?

yep...just hung plastic for the 4 walls inside the garage and monted a 3' diameter exhaust fan at the base of the garage door. I still plan on doing the base/clear in a side-draft paint booth but doing the primer/sealer and surfacer in my "own" paint booth
