I'm painting!

Yesterday I finally got in a full days work on the van for the first time in several weeks. I was able to finish sanding down the paint and did four different body repairs. It was my first time using body filler and I think I still have a lot to learn. Most of the filler I mixed ended up in the trash because I couldn't quite get the amount of hardener needed correct. Maybe this is just how it is supposed to be but I would get maybe a minute of usable filler. Anyway, I wouldn't say my panels are perfect but they are better than they were.

The most exciting news to me though is that I got primer rolled on the cab portion of the van. I decided against thinning it and just rolled it on straight from the can. I think it went fairly well but it is hard to tell until I wet sand it. If nothing else it was a really good learning experience and got me comfortable with the small high density foam roller and foam brush. I'm going to hold off on pictures a bit until I've got more of the work done but it is exciting to finally see some primer on my bus.
