First coats of epoxy primer

 Got the topsides sprayed with 2 coats of PPG Shopline JP375 2K epoxy primer. With the total strip, all areas had to be sprayed - every nook and cranny. This means the spray gun had to reach into a lot of awkward spots at non-ideal angles for spraying. As a result there's a lot of overspray induced texture that will need to get sanded later. But at least it's not going to get rusty in the meantime.




 
 
Next is to figure out some way to flip it over to do the undersides. Was planning to get a rotisserie but the price has gone up by about 50% in the last 6 month. Even the price of steel stock to make one is ridiculous.
