primer

I put a little primer on the frame today. It went on pretty smooth. I'll have a few runs to contend with after it dries. I decided against powder coat as I just didn't want to have to mess with using the furnace at school to cure it with and I always seem to miss a few areas in the tight spots due to the electrostatic field. It's been a while since I used liquid paint and I thought this would be good practice for the hot rod beetle (I'm hoping to paint it soon). Hopefully tomorrow I will get a fresh coat of color on the frame. Stay tuned....

What made up your mind on the hot rod? Weren't you talking about leaving it raw?

yeah, i was going to leave it raw, but the WI weather has changed my mind. it has so much surface rust on it just from being in the garage all winter; it's nuts!!! I gotta go with paint so that it doesn't rust away.
