Well I hadn't intended to be back here until I had paint on, but worked progressed so well yesterday I decided to make an update. Besides, I'm posting process, not just progress!
A couple days ago, I used air pressure and the wind-tunnel to clean out the major part of the shop (tops of overhead door rails, the ceiling mounted furnace, top shelf surfaces, I mean everything!).
I dusted the house that way too, one day when it was my turn to clean. Removed screens, opened up windows and doors, the wind was holding at a steady 25 with gusts to 35, perfect day for cleaning while not tearing up the curtains too bad. DW won't let me clean anymore. Something about process.
Afterwards, I closed down the doors and swept up good, even moving the camper to the other garage stall so I could sweep up under, and even vacuuming crud out of the concrete floor joints! But once that was all done, I completely wiped down Lil' Queeny with a rag and several buckets of water. Boy was she dirty! And that was AFTER the blow down!
So I started from there yesterday. Masking went pretty fast. It's one of those things that just gets done if you keep at it.
This is the good side. The side I show off.
I reserve this side, kinda junky with the first attempts using newspaper, to friends like you - you know, with discretion.
Cardboard cut and taped into the roof openings from the inside.
And then I closed the door. Can't move forward on the camper now until paint is at least done on the rear. So in the event my two gallons ain't enough, I plan to do the under cab-over and front walls last.
When I painted Lil Spen (the Willys Trailer) I had built most of this tarp wall for a partial paint booth.
But now, with the spray job on the other side, and much larger, I had further to go. Picked up a few extra tarps a couple weeks ago and got them out now. Here's looking back toward the garage door.
And at the back, looking toward the front of the garage.
There is the one darker passenger side. I think I'll start there before my lenses get too much paint on them.
Next stop? Tack Cloth. Then we spray!
