bit 4
So, went out and bought myself a few of sprayguns
1. Small gravity feed for little bits and small spaces
2. A reasonable standard size gravity feed for the overall job

3. A cheap suction gun for the primer/undercoat
I always leave some gun wash in the gun when i am not using it ...
I did the inside of the tray totally first including the rails – just masked up underneath the outside facing lip so that the join is hidden. That way I don’t need to climb into the tray to paint around and I can concentrate on smooth straight lines of overlapping spraying. So inside the tray lips, around the back window and the inside the door trims all got 3 good coats and 3 good clear coats. Probably should have left the door trims to paint with the other panels but I am still unsure as to whether I will hang the doors for the final spray.

Well, while the weather got cold in Melbourne I decided to hang some fluoro’s so I could see better. I was up the step ladder (on the top) – you know the wrung that has the warning sticker on it (“if you stand on this step you could lose your balance”). I leaned across one way and the ladder left me 5 foot up in the air with no support. Concrete is hard and unforgiving… left shoulder bore the brunt of the fall and tore the tendon. 4 months later surgery and two more weeks later I am writing about it here. So, I have 4 more weeks in a sling and can only manage to do the engine bay in paint stripper.

that's all for now except that the EXA donour is gone and I still need a CA18 head
