Default Some primer ****

After countless hours it was finally time this sunday to shoot the final coat of primer. We'll still have to finish up the hood and maybe re-shoot a few spots as we go over the car, but this was the last time the entire car was shot. Really getting close to getting some red on it!

Ready to rock-n-roll:



Yours truly showing of my mad skills. Notice the great posture and grace:



The Yoda to my Skywalker, Mike (tracdogg2), striking a slightly more relaxed pose:




And the glory shots... yes, that's a run on the left front fender. What can I say? Mike mixed the paint too thin?

Oh young Jedi, You still have much to learn like: check pattern adjustment **** on gun when you change panels
Except for a few tricky areas that I shot, Markus sprayed the entire car without my help or intervention. I''ll take a couple of runs in the primer over a dry spot anyday.

HUmmm....my car is the same primer gray now....and same stories about touch ups and so forth...

somehow I suspect my final wont look as nice, as I dunno what I am doing, and I HATE body work/paint....

so suffering along, but I am going for GREEN, bright emerald GREEN metallic with a hint of blue....none of that hippy dippy yellow/gray in it....
