Default Sandblasting and Painting

With the sandblasted items back at the barn, painting was the order of the day. Fortunately, it was another nice day. It started off a bit cool (7oC), but it warmed up by noon to 17oC with a good breeze to keep the bugs at bay. Using a HVLP spray gun, the first coat was applied by 9:30 AM. The second coat was applied after lunch. The aggressive media used by the sandblaster left the metal with a rough texture, but the primer coats took some of the roughness down. The final coat of green paint should even things out, but that is a task for another day in the future.
