Thanks John. I hope to have it looking like something more substantial in a few more days. Painting and watching it dry takes a lot of time.

Wayne, love the conversion of the garage into a spray booth with copious amounts of plastic drop sheets and construction tape!
Will likely have to do the same, otherwise my alternative plan is my Can Tire garage in a box outside when the weather is decent...

Default ....slow...

A couple of update photos... I need to go away for work again this week, so next weekend I will paint over the primer on the outside of the body. The inside and underside of the body are completely painted, and a whole bunch of the miscellaneous things are painted now. Still have lots of odds and ends to paint after the main body parts are done.

Default Base coat

To keep up with the series of paint stages, here are a few more photos. This is the base coat (as mentioned previously, I wanted something high quality to seal everything in). When this dries, I will commence with the three color camo pattern. I will feel a bit guilty painting flat camo over this nice Dupont paint... oh well.

Oh, and of course before I walked away, I noticed that two very small flies committed suicide in the fresh paint!
