It got windy as expected, and the plastic on the engine wound up blowing onto the wet paint. But it kinda looks cool, and I'm just going to scratch this up anyway every time I put the hood rest away, so whatevs. at least it's blue.
The rest of the parts came out pretty nice, all but that fender. In hindsight I am thinking I should have sprayed that big sanded area with primer, just to even things out more, because I ended up with a big funky spot that catches the light differently. It's got about 6 coats of paint on it, so maybe I'll be able to just work it flat later with find sandpaper. The more it dries the better it looks, we'll see. worst case I can fix it again later, even bolted to the truck. Need to keep moving!
Now I'm going to sand the rest of the roof, and work on masking off all the door openings. If I can get that ready by 4:00 or so, I'll be able to pull these parts out into the back yard somewhere, then bring the 60 back in the garage & paint it before it gets too cold. I think I can mask it in time, just not sure at this moment how to store those other parts that are sure to still be tacky.
