Your'e probably going to want to mask off your dash - clock -  steering, shifter a whole lot better than what it is now - Overspray goes EVERYWHERE>   including the headliner!

[black olive]

yeah tah mate I will before doing the outside. all apertures will be fully masked

[black olive]

did a bit on the doors today. Ive fit new doorskins and the edges are a little "pie crusty" due to use of the skinning tool. Ive cleaned the paint off, planished the high spots down, and put  skin of filler on. if we get a good day tomorrow I can get them finished and high builded. slow and steady :)

Perfect day for painting today. roof poly disced back to bare metal ( 2 coats of paint and primer ) fortunately very little rust. acid etch primed and 3 good coats of high build. looked like the bloody incredible hulk after rubbing down, but on a serious note you  can see the importnce of googles and mask LOL

[black olive]

front end done in high build. o/s scuttle took a lot of time and bits of filler to get right. wing to scuttle joins have been filled with poly sealant :)

HUH! I've just put 3 and  2 together and realised I follow your facebook page some how BO.

[SAL 821X]

Also with the high build do use the manufactures flash time between coat then block back before the colour?

 

Hopefully i'll be getting to do the van in primer sooner rather than later and trying to gauge techniques.

 

Cheers

 

Matt

Ive just gauged the flash time with when it looks dry. If Ive been painting in the evening it can take 15 minutes. In the sun Ive had to add extra thinner and its been flashing off within 5 minutes. Ive been blessed with this weather :))
