JPWH 5,308 #54 Posted November 26, 2015 Looking real good. Spray gun or rattle can ? That's the part I'm dreading. I am not a good painter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedRanger 1,468 #57 Posted November 29, 2015 Amazing how well garage door tracks work as paint racks. I just hate the over spray on everything. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bach-Ed 164 #58 Posted November 30, 2015 I used to get overspray everywhere. But I saw online at one of my wood working sites a simple solution. A cheap spray booth. I got some 4 mil plastic and 8 pieces of 2 x 2. Cut a notch in the 2 x 2s at the center, about an inch wide and 1/2 deep. Staple plastic (on the notched side) to four of the 2 x 2 and attach notched side up to your ceiling. You can use a piece of wire laid in the notch but better is a velcro strip to secure the plastic when you roll it up. On the bottom cut the plastic to length (a little longer than the distance to the floor.) and staple the other 2 x 2s. This weighs the plastic down and when done with the spraying use these to roll up the plastic. When not in use it's up against the ceiling. USE a respirator! the stuff can get thick in there or ventilate it. Oh and if there is a garage door opener be sure to un plug it, if someone comes home unexpectedlyyou don't want to find out what will happen. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way my shop is set up, it is just easier at this time to cover everything else with plastic, open the garage door about the height of a box fan and close off around the fan with plywood. Instant exhaust fan. Only down side is I ended up with a red driveway in front of that door this time. If I was spraying more often or my shop was finished, I'd surely build a makeshift booth. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shynon 7,435 #65 Posted January 17, 2016 Little assembly done, until I ran out of painted parts and stainless hardware. Need to blast the tank and lift lever. Have NOS kohler 10 waiting to go on this one. Hopefully soon. Just noticed in the pics the two holes in the gas tank support that will need to get fixed. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My local Ace tells me I should just buy the store. I've started buying by the box instead of individual bolts. Think my next purchase might be here.... https://www.boltdepot.com/Catalog.aspx 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
