Cat's Outta The Bag...

yea, I'll agree on painting T1-11. I brushed the grooved and rolled the rest. No matter how you look at it, its a multi coat job

Yup, same. Although I didn't feel like hanging on an extension ladder in 90 degree heat! I got all the groves I could from the extension ladder and got everything I could with the extension pole on the roller. Shouldn't take too long to wrap that up this weekend.

A sprayer makes short work of it. Prep is a bear tho.

Yup. Like you said, prep is a bitch unless you want overspray everywhere. Even then, I'm likely to get overspray everywhere! LOL! It would likely increase the quantity of paint a bit as well. However...

But I'd definitely do it differently if I was forced to do it again.

fifty odd years ago, a gal I know bought a new to her Sunbeam Alpine in British Racing Green, nice and shiny till the neighbors had their house sprayed

Prep 1 - getting all the "to be painted" surfaces properly cleaned, scuffed, and repaired for proper adhesion.
Prep 2 - masking off everything "not to be painted."

These are both unbreakable, mandatory rules, with one exception...


If you're selling, get a quick cover on it, hope the buyer doesn't really "know" and RUN!
