Painting Practice Parts

The two frames that Ed welded up earlier were sanded to remove the galvanized coating.  The parts were wiped down with Acetone and then hung on the painting rack.  The painting rack was nothing more than a board between two ladders and the parts were suspended with safety wire.

Once the parts were hung, Michael mixed up some epoxy primer paint (4:1, epoxy paint to catalyst ratio).  Three good coats were applied to the parts and allowed to dry before moving them into the garage for a complete cure of the paint.  Hours: 1.5
