Popular Post mattb73lt 983 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) The new curtain earned it's keep today. Sprayed about a 1/2 gallon of primer on the exterior. Huge mess in the work bay, NOTHING on the shop side!! It was so worth the investment. Some Lizard Skin to spray tomorrow and then interior paint. Then, followed by the exterior. Sooo close now!! Edited October 10, 2020 by mattb73lt 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post mattb73lt 983 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 Another step closer. Sanded the whole cab and applied epoxy primer to it. Once it cures, I’ll wet sand the whole cab and start applying color. This week is looking good!! 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scroll back a little, I posted the site where I got them. They’re a home run!! Keeps everything out of my shop side of the barn. Or just google, “sliding dust curtains “. These are working out so well, just have to clean one bay now, not the whole shop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vladislav 3,012 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Nice to see! And being gloss black the cab already looks fine. A layer of a clear coat and a big save on the red paint? Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to post Share on other sites

As I’ve said all along, this cab is the worst part of this build and I knew it would take the longest. Once it’s done the pace should pick up.

Back wall came out good, roof not as much as it was difficult to cover. I did end up doing the inside of the fire wall, instead of the face for several reasons. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
