Brief Description: Repair dent on VS, build paint booth (06-02)
Worked on the dent that was on the leading edge of the VS (arrived that way). At this point it didn't seem like much to worry about, but I still need to let Vans know that it arrived in that condition. Started with the NAPA Marting Senour primer, but it seemed to scratch off to easily and was darker than I wanted. Next tried the Marhyde brand and I really like the results, but not the price (2X Martin Senour). Plan is to only prime required parts and metal to metal contact regions, so I may use the Martin Senour in the less visible regions (ribs and wing skins) and Maryde everywhere else. Also started painting in the garage, but it was cold and the odor was still bad even with the door open. Decided to build (more like throw together) a paint booth in the basement with a wire mesh spray table. Seems to be working well with a window fan to keep the fumes out of the house, plus it's much warmer and will be nice in the summer as well.
