So perfect weather with highs in the low 70’s. I took Friday off and wrapped up the painting of the firewall. There is no more bare metal on the shell now! I did make one mistake though. I used the Satin Black finish which was different from the earlier paint! I think it will be ok if I scuff a little and re-apply it, but most of what I painted really isn’t visible, so I am not too worried about it yet. I can think about it over the winter and fix it next year.
So I had to un-mount the rotisserie to paint where it was mounted to. Then strip away the old paint:
A little bit of masking (including the bottom of the floor:
Then a coat of gray primer, then black, then a 3rd of gray primer (all Epoxy) and finally seam sealed:
Then 2 coats of Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black (Satin):
Now you can see the mis-match (uh-oh!) – easy enough to touch-up and fix:
Next weekend I will re-attach the rotisserie so I can move it around over the winter. There may be a few smaller projects I tackle over the winter, but nothing too much until next summer when I finish the undercoating. We will see what time permits and what I can fit in between now and next summer.
