It has taken more time than I thought to prepare the body for primer. Initially, I was confident that the gray paint could merely be sanded with 40 grit paper and primed. However, if you recall, the gray paint began to "flake" as it was being sanded. Therefore it was necessary to remove it entirely. If that was not time consuming enough, we discovered some previous body damage that required the installation of a patch panel.
The removal of the gray paint is now complete and the patch panel has been installed, filled and sanded. We are now ready for primer.
Tomorrow morning Morris will be moved to the spray booth and cleaned several times with metal cleaner. Three medium coats of polyester primer will be applied and the body work and blocking will begin Monday.
The next time you see Morris, he will be one color instead of five.
Can't wait...
