Day 29:
Thanks for all the kind comments psychodad! This is by far the most painting I will have ever done and it's really exciting for me! Even if it doesnt turn out perfect, I'll be proud to know that I did it all myself.
I dont have a whole lot of interesting things to post other than the primering is DONE! I got some spray-in truck bed liner and sprayed the inner door. I just bought one can from a nearby auto parts store. Its not the best, but I don't care, it will serve it's purpose. I had to enlargen the hole in the inner foam for the tapper shaft as the door was now too thick to put the nut on to hold it into place. I drilled out the plastic and foam down to the supporting piece of wood I built inside the door and test fitted it and it fit great!
I remounted the door yesterday and got primering. I've gone through 6 cans so far and I am completely done. The pictures dont really show how nice it looks so I'll only post one. You can see in the bottom left corner of the picture the kick panel laying on the ground primered.
I am going to take a break for a couple days and let the primer completely cure before I go and start the base coating! I am so excited to see the first coat of red on this thing!!
