<VV> Painting at home: my GMC motorhome painting project (little Corvair)

[NicolCS at aol.com]

I was done with the GMC motorhome's niggling little touch-up body work on  
Monday, (oops, not quite), then Wednesday (oops again), then Friday (will this  
ever end?).  I finally finished the body touch up on  Saturday.  Like the 
Energizer bunny, it just kept going on  and on.  The sealer went on yesterday 
afternoon and I  sprayed the metallic black color on the lower body this morning.  
I  don't have enough available width in the shop to paint both sides at once, 
so I  painted one side and the front, then drove it out and turned it around 
and  backed it in to paint the other side and the rear.  That was pretty  
interesting since the windows are all masked.  My wife stood outside with  her 
cell phone and I drove, following her directions through my phone.   Talk on the 
phone and drive at the same time? No Problem!  With the  exception of one 
panel, the finish is great.  Tomorrow I'll mask-off  the lower body and paint the 
smoke-silver on the upper body. Woo Hoo!  The  project has taken SO many hours 
over the past month, I can't tell you.  I  will say this:  I'll be happy to 
get back to the EO Corsa convertible  project.  It's time to take out my spare 
140 install the EFI motor in  preparation for the convention tech session on 
EFI.  In the future, would  someone please shoot me if I mention painting a 
motorhome?   <ggg>
