It’s hard to express in a log how much prep work is involved with painting. Whoever said that painting is 90 percent prep work is spot on. So much pre-prep, sanding , cleaning, wiping (yes, they are two different things) to get any kind of a result. But, with patience, the result is acceptable. The masked area is where I need to go in and add weight to the counterweights. I don’t know yet how much I need. It will only be measurable when the elevator is painted. I figured it would be much easier just dealing with primer on fabric instead of primer and topcoat.
