Spray it with it closed, then open it up and get the missed parts. This way, when I flip it over to the front, I can keep it closed and get everything covered. |

Damn that's going to look good! |

Forgot to mention that I put a coat of primer on the control panel before applying the black paint. I don't usually use primer when using the Rustoleum paint, but since I had the bondo on the front, I wanted to make sure I had a good layer of primer to help even everything out. Can't even tell the holes were ever there! |

The wait is over...the painting begins!!!! Cab was prepped for painting. It's important to clean it really good and get any remaining dust particles off with a tack cloth. First coat of primer was sprayed on: I'll sand it down a bit and then give it a second coat. I spent a little more money to get the white primer. I wanted a coat of white under the yellow to really make it pop. The white primer saves me a step of having to coat it with white after the primer. Avoiding an extra clean up (clean up sucks with anything except latex paints) is worth it. |
