Well I was chatting with Darrin Sheffer tonight and he ask me to post my story.

Bought a FilPruf Rack last week and got it sandblasted today and couldn't wait to get it primed.

If some of you don't know, i live in a tiny apartment. So i decided "why wait to prime it!!"

So here is the redneck priming booth from Ohio....

All the good ingridents for a major headache... Acetone, Body Filler, and Primer.



The Frebreeze garbage bag doesn't help with the fumes one bit!!!

As Darin Says "While the wife is away, the boys will play!"

Yes DB that is the intake...
I turned it off just before spraying. Don't need it circulating through the apartment.

Guess i could spray it on the bed!!! LOL

Why couldn't you do this just outside the door to your apartment door and then bring them inside?

Well here is the progress of the day.







Got to go to my father-in-laws house and spray in his heated garage.

So in a few days i will color-sand and get ready for the artwork.
