It’s paint time :), GTUs -> TII part 4

Well this weekend I painted my engine bay in the factory color, WY “Noble White”. Friday night I wet sanded the primer down to get a nice clean finish. Sat I woke up picked up the space heater from my parents place and warmed up the “paint booth”. I used a one-stage low volume paint so I could use my gravity feed gun (the siphon gun is getting old and super dirty/clogged and did not feel like cleaning it for a week just to use it once). And I think it turned out rater well. But of course now days is almost impossible to get away from the ominous orange peel. Next weekend its time for some color sanding

. Well hope all of you enjoy.

Here are the pics of the “paint booth”

Hehehe after I color sand I have to start the process of taking all the tape off the parts in the engine bay and buy all those dam clips-n-stuff. It’s one of those one step at a time sort of deals.
