Well, I finished the last coat of etching primer and so I took a few pics of my progress.

Very nice.. Can't wait for mine to get there.. Did you prime it in your garage? What did you to to prep the garage for paint? Makeshift spraybooth with fans and filters? I'm planning on doing the same thing..

Yes I did it in the garage, cover anything you don't want overspray on and invest in a cartridge type face mask and keep good filters in it. I actually shot some primer with it in the driveway till I saw that a few specks of tree sap had fallen on it. Since primer is sanded and recoated several times you don't need to worry till the last coat prior to the topcoat. If I decide to shoot the topcoat I will do something in the way of fans,filters,etc.

By the way, a shop vac with fine dust filters helps keep the dust under control.
