Prime Time

We decided to go with Sherwin-Williams Arts and Crafts color palette.  We narrowed it down to four different colors for the body.  Cream for the windows and a dark mahogany for the trim.




I used a paint sprayer for the primer and it went fast and smooth.  Clean up was rather tedious but relatively simple.  I made sure to take the gun apart and clean out any tiny little bits of paint to prevent clogs down the line.

Man I really love my sander!  

Bondo




Love the stuff!  I've been using Bondo to fill holes, gaps and rough edges of the siding and have found it to work great.  It sets up fast so I can only mix small batches, but it is solid once dry and easy to sand.  The garage sanding and prep is complete so its time to start painting
