Default Grrr paint

Have spent a jolly couple of hours spraying the chassis in primer.

Then noticed a couple of welds that were still only tacked

Still, better to notice them now, than when the chassis falls apart at 70mph.

So, things I have learned this evening
  • Painting is boring, but a spraygun makes it bearable
  • It's easy to miss a weld with this many joints (not the smokey kind )
  • Painting is boring
  • Overspray gets everywhere
  • Painting is boring
  • Use lots and lots lots and lots lots and lots lots and lots of dustsheets
  • Painting is boring
  • Putting your elbow in the can of primer is not a good idea
  • Did I mention, Painting is boring

Obviously, said paint is now drying, so I have time (and primer) on my hands, hence the overly excessive use of formatting

Anyone else had a fun evening???
