Looking good Roger! This week might be the last good week to spray any paint.

Yep, waiting for the temp to come up a bit and planning to shoot primer, let it dry and shoot color Friday. I had some minor surface rust on the hood from sitting too long in the unheated barn and used OSPHO on it. I guess I shouldn't have let it sit wet because it formed some really hard deposits that are going to take a lot of work to get off, so the hood is going to wait until later, likely spring.

The Indian Summer temps held for me, topping at 77F today! It's supposed to hold through tomorrow, which was my cushion day in the schedule, then Tuesday gets colder and wetter.
I shot primer on Friday, and was surprised to find a bunch of little pissy flaws that needed to be fixed, so Saturday was more fill, sand, and then spot prime the repairs. Today one of my boys brought his family out for some distanced visiting, letting his two boys run around, play in the leaves, climb up in the treehouse and just be boys! I got out to the barn to work about 2pm, and at 6pm shot the 4th coat of clear. It's not perfect by any means, but it's got color!

Looks like progress to me. Good job.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Thanks for the kind words! Turned out having an extra day was good, because as I was pulling off the masking film I saw the steering u-joint and realized I had not painted the steering column! Got it prepped and primed, and made a run to town during the 2 hour dry time, and shooting color with another hour dry, then a couple of coats of clear, all done by 4pm and the cold front rolls in tonight!
Later afternoon - As I was carrying the column toward the paint area I was looking at it, wondering how I was going to hang it securely while not restricting spraying. I thought of Robert (MP&C), using vice grips for his Go-To solution for everything, and thought "Why not vice grips?"
Got it done by 4, south winds are holding the temp at 72 with clouds building. The winds will shift in a few hours, bringing the cold down from South Dakota. Dave Severson, how about checking that gate that's the only thing to block the wind?

Looks great Roger, you can never go wrong with Blue. With 4 coats of clear you'll have plenty of clear to scuff and buff to a mirror shine!Seth

That looks awesome Roger! I'm glad you were able to get to painted. I didn't get any paint sprayed and will probably have to wait a while now.

From the Facebook announcement it seems you've been busy with things other than painting! Congrats on the growing family! Originally Posted by 40FordDeluxe
