The weather here is getting increasingly colder and wetter as we head towards winter, and the bare metal cab sat in the garage was starting to worry me a little to say the least. I decided that regardless of what state it was in I was going to put a light coat of sealer on when I finished on Sunday. It’s been a while since I painted anything, and a quick check of my Devilbiss gun revealed it was leaking air. I’d lent it to someone, and they must have taken it to bits, lost the seal, and given it back to me, which was nice. Plan B was the cheapy gun I had, so the kids got to spray paint the patio with water to "test" it. I had put some more filler on in patches last week, so I sanded it all down again with the long sanders before switching to a block and some 80 grit. After an entire afternoon of sanding, bits of it were spot on, and bits of it were crap. I decided to crack on and paint it with a light coat as planned, rather than risk having to re-sand it all again. I’d forgotten how satisfying it was to suddenly see everything in the same colour, and despite not being perfect it’s still looking pretty good I reckon. The filler shows through the light coat of sealer which makes it look worse than it is. Plan is to guide coat, sand and fill it before doing it again, but it should give me time to get the rest of the bare metal ready too. Still pretty happy overall!
