No kidding! I’m not painting the floor; I’m going to use bed liner. Just wanted a decent surface to put it on.

Good choice on the bed liner, the stuff wears like iron and id pretty decent to apply.

That looks really nice. Do you have much finger nail left?

Actually sanding the floor wasn’t too bad. Now being on my knees and sanding over my head on the inside of the roof for three hours; I felt every bit of that the next morning.

Painted the inside; I’ll give it a few days to dry and then tape it off to shoot the ceiling.

Wow! That's really blue!!! Looking good!

Ditto nice color and classic too!

Thanks, I actually ordered the wrong paint. I was looking at more of a blue/green and put in the wrong code when I ordered. I was going to return it but the more I looked at it, it kind of grew on me.

That looks very good.

Yes, it does look real good.

Trying to paint the ceiling was just miserable; there’s no way to hold the gun straight to the surface. You’re always at a weird angle and it comes out with overspray streaks. I hope I can hit it with some polish and make it a little better. At least there will be a headliner on the front section to hide some of it.

Yeah, painting over head is a crap show for sure. That vent hole in the cap makes it real fun too. It looks good from here. If anyone doesn't like it, they shouldn't be in it. Haha

True; just have to live with it. Definitely not trying it again.

Next time just get one of those WWE guys to push it over while you stand in a window opening to paint, and have another hold it up.

Lol; that’ll work! What I probably needed was a gun with a separate paint pot but it is what it is. It’s got a headliner for the section above the seats; I can always extend it to the back if it bugs me too bad.
