I see all types of equipment sitting around, engines, tires, etc. But not much in the way of protective covering over any of that stuff. What's your secret?
As unprofessional as it sounds, my secret is dust. There's so much dust on everything right now, nothing sticks to it. I'm using an HLVP gun so the paint doesnt travel very far, and I just tack everything down before I spray it to make sure it's clean. Now to put it in perspective; this is a really inexpensive white single stage paint job without a clear coat and the body was far from perfect. I figure it's a stepvan and will probably get used as such so I'm not sweating it; just wanted to get it one color and reasonably decent looking. If it was a nice street rod I'd spend a lot more time on the body and take more precautions. This is more like the Earl Sheib special done at home.
