I've also emailed Rich a total of about 3 times about that Midway plate that he keeps teasing us all with.. I hope it comes out soon too. I'm to the point where it's time to give in too and get the yucky one. -csa --- End quote --- I have a feeling he has a secret deal with Arcadeshop to wait until AS sells out all the "bad" one's........ |

Okay, back from vacation and back on the project. Today I taped off some areas of the cab in preparation for painting. On the front interior is some art on each side that is in pretty good shape. Even if it wasn't, I don't believe a reproduction is available. I masked off each side with blue painters tape and newspaper. Left side: Right side: I also maked off the coin door: And the bottm side of the back: And the upper back part (bubble area): My goal is to put the first coat of primer on tomorrow. |

I picked up the paint today as well as the HVLP spray gun. I was planning to get an oil based paint, but they weren't able to match my colors in oil, so I went with latex. First attempt at spraying the primer did not go well. The instructions with the spray gun are pretty much useless. I only got splatters of paint to come out of the gun. I was testing on some card board so I didn't mess up the cab. I need to do some research on the gun to figure out what I'm doing wrong. It may be that the paint is too thick but I'm not sure. |
