Hi all,

today I finally had warm temps to do my primer.

I finished the fiberglass / micro balloons base off with 220 grit and the block, like I was preaching back a few posts. I got her back on the scales - I am now + 2.65 oz for my fiberglass base, way better than I ever imagined - oh yea happy with that....

Next I taped and masked off the entire plane and installed my nose mount for my painting jig. Mixed up a 3 oz batch of PPG K-36 and with a 2" foam roller, rolled out first a heavy coat then a light coat. I also rolled out the rudder. Once happy with that I sprayed the cowl and chin with my new primer gun a friend gave me. He bought it off the Matco tool truck and it works really well, better than the Cobalt gun I got from Lowes. I installed this 15 dollar pressure gauge - you really need that gauge....

Rolling really kills a lot of the pin holes after I was finished I didn't see a single pin hole.
