Today, we finished the painting portion of the engine compartment appearance upgrade project, and we can put it in the dictionary next to the term:
SCOPE CREEP!
Master painter and I-CAR maven Ed Mayer came over, shall we say, primed to go!
(Ed had painted the motor):
We pushed the car into the spray booth.
Mixing paint.
Applying primer.
Safety first.
Second coat.
Applying the yellow.
Unmask and unveil.
Done at last!
Back inside the garage.
We celebrated with a pair of grogs.
Hard work? Yes, but then anything really worth having is.
Next? Reassemble!
What did I do? Besides make the coffee, fetch the tools, and pour the beer, I was in charge of organization and documentation.
