[QUOTE="ober51, post: 85170, member: 1354"] Here are the pics from yesterday. Completely sanded, wiped with acetone, then a tack cloth, then self etch primer, then Brightside Interlux. This is only the first coat - I did the second this morning (after a light 320 grit sand, and I mean light). Then a tack cloth, then the second coat. I have been rolling the paint, and I really can't complain. Not crazy about the color, thought it would be darker. I'm an idiot, do all this work only to paint it the same color #-o Oh well. It's going to look much different with the black steel flex on the bottom. Might do that later (if I dare with the second coat still drying) or tomorrow very, very early, since rain is rolling in tomorrow night. Trying to squeeze this all in, tough to do. I also am thinking of adding a red pinstripe - an suggestions? Can I add that next week? Just sand the 320 in a taped off area and apply the red Brightside? Is it that simple? Hope this is at least a bit entertaining, it's fun to do! And exhausting, lol. I will take some more pictures before I go out today - without the newspaper and such. My dad loves it, but my brother thinks it's lame, lol. I'm in between. I think the end result is what matters (and whether or not I like it). [/QUOTE]
