What a ridiculous title! What it means is simple: this is the first post dealing with the actual painting. Why don’t I simply wait till I’m done painting and make a single post? Because, it is the process, not the product, that matters. Deep.<\/p>\n

\"Rear<\/a> \"2<\/a> <\/a>\"Brake<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, this morning I did my first coat. Then, tonight, I did my second coat (see the image EXIF data for the times: I work late). The plan is that I will pick up more paint tomorrow morning, then do a third coat. I will see how it turns out, and chances are I will let it dry till the next morning, when I will do a light wet sanding to remove the dust and bugs that may get stuck it in, smooth off the paint, then I will do the final coat (or two…)<\/p>\n

More photos after the break!!! (And, of course, the photo of me that I promised).\"Mask\"<\/a>
\nGeared up for battle.<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/a>
\nIn my full body armour, hahaha!<\/p>\n

\"Hatch\"<\/a>
\nA very, very nice shade of yellow.<\/p>\n

\"Gas<\/a>
\nI try my best to get everything I can. All the details count.<\/p>\n

\"Rear<\/a>
\nPretty….<\/p>\n

\"Top\"<\/a>
\nLook at that glow. As my mom’s boyfriend remarked, it will be very noticeable.<\/p>\n

\"Bumper\"<\/a>
\nThis is the shine you will see when I leave you in my dust. This paint job gives my car a 30hp increase. True science.<\/p>\n

\"Fan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The colour paint is much, much<\/em> more sticky than the primer. My eyelashes were all stuck together this morning with paint, and my face was yellow. I had to adapt my face masking technique.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Shoes\"<\/a>
\nShoes were affected as well. To anyone attempting this: the paint will get everywhere. Hair, face, all clothing, walls, floors. Make sure you mask everything you don’t want paint on.<\/p>\n

\"Job<\/a>
\nFeeling good after a day of hard work!<\/p>\n

Next post: likely after more painting, perhaps sanding, and perhaps the reconditioning of internal trim pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
