Re: Markeb01 Build Thread

Closer inspection reveals what happens when you’re going for the last coat, stop to refill the gun, and before the lid goes back on - step on the air hose which was stupidly left connected to the gun. I’ve tried to adjust the contrast to show how ghastly it looked in real life, but the photo doesn’t do it justice. And entire quart of paint was thrown all over the back fender and bed side.



All I could do was clean up, and walk away for a few days until the paint set. It took an entire day to resand the mess at which point the entire truck had to be remasked and the paint adjusted to come out with the same matching low gloss finish.

More to follow.
