Big priming day - 7 hours

I needed to get some parts primed in order to keep making progress on the build. There is a considerable amount of parts that need to be primed (baggage floors, seat floors, flap parts, etc etc). I've been holding off for some warm weather so that I can prime outside but it looks like its not going to come for some time. So I just have to bite the bullet and do a priming session in the garage.

I set up the all of the buckets, tarps, etc so that I can do a priming run.




Its a lot of work to prime. Wash, scrub, acid etch, rinse, MEK, prime.  I did as much as I could, but at the end of the session, I didn't have to drive to keep priming. I still have all the big panels to complete (Baggage bulkhead, baggage floors and panels, forward seat floors) I wait for a warmer day to do those. I don't need them done just yet.
