Had the day off today, so got a few hours in the garage. I decided to clean and paint the last piece of floor, and clean the old paint off from the cowl corners and the vents in front of the screen. I also cleaned the aerosol primed areas back to metal using thinners. An hour or so with the grinder and some sandpaper and the floor and footwell was ready to paint. There were a few little bits of filler that needed doing, along with a small dent in the roof I did.

I vacced up and blew the car clean with the airline, then cleaned the roof and sides with clean rags. Then I turned the car on it’s side, and propped it up so I could work on the roof. Cleaned, then mixed up some more of the etch primer I was using and had a go at the roof. The gun was set wrongly and I got a lot of spatter, so I re-set it and did a few more stripes. Still wrong, but better. I re-set it again, and got an OK result, not great tho. By this point I’d covered half the roof, so I carried on and did the other half. The top half was full of runs, but the second half was OK. I then did the door pillars, and that all ran too. I think I had too much paint flowing and not enough air pressure. Dissapointed, but not disheartened. I’ll sand it all out and try again.
