Brief Description: Disassemble and Paint Parts
|
|
Removed all the baggage area parts to clean, prime, and paint. I left the unseen sides in primer and for the visible sides, I used the hammered gray spraycan. The humidity is still relatively high so, again, I heated the oven to 180F and baked the painted parts for 15 minutes to assist in setting up the final finish. It works really great. Just have to explain to the wife why the kitchen smells like spray paint. She knows.....
When they cool down, the finish has set up nicely. Alternatively, I could just have left them in the garage for about 3 days to get the same place, but heating them works better for me. Same drill for the baggage floors, the flap housing upright support, the smoke pump mount, and the oxygen tank belt loop. Remaining to paint is the rear baggage wall, flap motor housing side covers and front support, seat pans, cross member, roll bar, etc. Basically all interior forward of the baggage area. Jeeesss. Lots of painting to do.

Wonder if a pizza would taste like paint later?

Cooling down and paint sets up nicely.
