This is how I have it set up in my garage to paint:
After cleaning with a Wax & Tar remover, sanding, and re-cleaning… today I put the first of two coats of primer. Had an issue with my regulator and got a few runs that I now have to sand before adding the second coat of primer. Those are broom handles they are standing on!
They finally came to patch the front road where they dug for the sewer!
Also check out how the new grass is coming along!
Took the afternoon off on Thursday to paint the new garage side access door. Also primed and painted the door frame. The door is white to match the trim.
For those of you that have questions on what year my Camaro is, it is a 1973. Information on the second gen Camaros are located here: http://www.nastyz28.com/camaro.html

Front half of house is done, need to do the back half and still need to replace the siding they took off of the garage. Should be done tomorrow, then I can have the rain gutters installed and finish the fill-dirt in the front yard.
