I have been working on getting my 50 Ply wagon together. I finally have it in epoxy primer and am going to drive it a year in primer before I paint.
Have been doing little things that take lots of time most everyday, before work and after.
On the weekends I get up with the thought I am going to get one specific thing done on the car and usually accompolish just that.
Saturday, got up and got a job done, took 5 hrs. Feeling good and having the job done, I went to a local car show to see some friends.
Got up Sunday and was going to spend the whole day in the shop. Number one thing to do..........sand,primer and paint the custom console I have for the wagon. Removed the bolts that hold it in, put it on a rolling cart and started wet sanding. Dried it off, dusted primer on bare spots, then applied a light coat of satin black paint.Waited 15 mins. for flash ,applied anothe heavier coat. Went into house, got another cup of coffee and came back out for final coat. put on last good wet coat and it looked great. As I rolled the cart with one hand and sprayer in other hand, the cart hit a seam in the floor and the console went to fall off. Natural reaction to grab it came into play. Fingerprints in fresh paint from left hand and deep indents in the wet paint from right hand with sprayer.
At that point I put sprayer down, wiped off paint from hand, pushed cart with console to a corner and politley turned off lights and went back into house. Told my wife, am done for the day as it started off bad already and can not see any good things happening the rest of the day.
Sometimes you just have to walk away and start again on a new day.
