<\/a>\nThe front after one coat.<\/p>\n
This morning, I applied one coat, then I let it dry for about 7 hours (I did the first a little before noon, and I did the second a little after 6). This is the fast dry stuff, and it felt dry after only about 30 minutes, but naturally I gave it more time.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, I plan on applying one coat in the morning, and then seeing where I end up. I hear too many different instructions for painting, so I will see which way feels best after I get started. My dad says to blend the coats, and do one after another. Previous instruction has told me that for spray paint I should do a coat, let it dry, then do another. After the first coat tomorrow, depending on how it goes on and dries, I will determine what to do.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I apologize, I forgot to grab a shot of me in my coveralls and in the big filter mask. I will grab one tomorrow!<\/p>\n I can’t remember if I mentioned wanting to make stencils to paint on the “Escort LX” and “2.o SPI” on the hatch, but here are the completed stencils:<\/p>\n<\/a>

\nThis fan was the only thing that kept the air from being solid paint dust. I was told that big clouds of white smoke could be seen blowing out of the garage, even at times I wasn’t spraying!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
