sanding ole dollor,and painting
well it took a little over a month to sand and fix all the body work ole dollor had, i will post some pic's of the process , started painting early saturday morning, then the guy across the street decided to mow and weed eat his yard, then the bugs showed up, and the slight south west wind kept most from coming my way, but the bugs had no trouble locating my house.....i stopped painting to let him finish, and another neighbor started mowing while i was painting again.....he had made a pretty good swipe of the front yard before i could get his attention.....so i ask him to do the mowing later and he stopped and went back into the house, yes i had to paint ole dollor in the drive way, and no one has had to mow in six months because we have not had any rain....so i never dreamed that any one would be mowing, but i guess laber day week end is the key..... i got the first coat of dust and bugs on....and it did not look to bad....i can always sand some more, and i tried to use one of those HVLP paint guns for the first time, and never got the hang of it, so i got out my old spray gun and used it, and of course it did a little spit and spudder ....so now i think my pint may be to thick.....so i thin some more.....getting better.....so i got the second coat on today, and will finish maybe monday......hear are some pics of the what i have so far......
