It was another boiling hot day, so what better to do than hand sand in a hot garage? I used a long block of wood I pinched off my father, and got the banana door much flatter. It also showed how low the filler was in places, so I gouged and re-filled it here and there. I had decided to give the original gun another go, so I sanded the insides of the doors again to make sure they were clean and put the passenger door up against the wall.

I set the gun up as I thought was right, sprayed a stripe on the wall, and set about the door. I got a good even coverage, and managed to do the lot with no real problems. I left it dry for ten minutes or so, and it was smooth when I checked it. Was chuffed to bits, so waited another ten minutes or so and did the inside of both doors. Again, no problem, apart from moving too slow and getting a run on a corner. Left them to dry, and re-sanded the dash and roof crossmembers, cleaned them off, and then wheeled the car back in to spray them. It went on neatly, and easily, and apart from getting dust in the paint was great. Feel good about painting the car now!
