Wink Painting Project Update

Well, I finally started to spray some paint. After a few minutes of getting used to the gun and the paint, the parts turned out pretty nice. Only one will need to be redone. I also painted the engine.

Hopefully this weekend, I may get to the cab and the bed. I am making a stand to hold each one so I can paint them all at once with moving them around. My wife loves the body parts in the living room!

You really painted in the living room? If so, I like your style!

The parts look great, what kind of paint?

Is that acrylic urethane paint? If so, you are quite under-dressed!

Tell me they are just laid out in the living room after the painting was done. It just looks like you sprayed them in the house...right ?

Nice work, but if you are using the 2 part paint you need to heed some caution. They contain isocyanates which are very dangerous and easily absorbed through tissues, even the eyes. The charcoal respirator may be used if it is fresh and properly fitted in a well vented booth. A supplied air respirator with a full body suit is highly recommended.

We would like to see a healthy "A" buddy around for a long while.

The work looks good though.

I am very sorry that people jump to conclusions and assume some of us are idiots. It is not a 2 part urethane paint system and I followed all of the safety precautions on the MSDS that came with the paint, including wearing a respirator with new cartridges.

Also, it was painted in a spray booth set up in an airplane hanger with excellent ventilation.

This was probably the last update for this project.

Bob, I noticed you edited your post by deleting some pictures and verbiage that led us to believe you were painting these parts in your living room. Also, we all took notice of your attire that showed exposed skin. To my knowledge, none of us said, --nor implied that you were an idiot.

While I would be one of many who would encourage you to continue to post updates, the choice is definitely yours, ...and quite frankly, life will go on for most of us if you choose to no longer make any additional posts however I take the position that many folks have unselfishly helped you here where you can "repay" them by not witholding progress updates.

Brent brings up a good point. For the record:

1. The truck parts were painted in a properly vented spray booth at an airplane hangar and all proper safety precautions were taken. Unfortunately the photo's were taken after so I had something for my scrap book.
2. The completed parts are stored in my living room as I am not blessed with a super large garage. I thought people would get a kick out of this.
3. I really appreciate the help and support I get on Ford Barn and try to reciprocate whenever I can.

Have a great day.

Bob

I did get a kick out of it. And I would be the first to make a silly comment about a pic of mine. I would never assume any of the folks here on Ford Barn are idiots. But you have to admit from the untrained eye seeing the pic's of the fenders in the living room and then seeing the pic's painting, it looked as though you were in the house (I knew you weren't ) and it looked too funny. I look to all you guys for help and would never want to offend.
