I got to the work site at about 8:00 to get started. The floor was ready to go with a canopy over it, and I spent about an hour getting some MEK to wipe down the trailer frame and fenders, moving the fenders and tongue box outside and setting up.
It was a nice day, cloudy and overcast to start. By noon, it was clear and warm. At a mile from Hood Canal, it was also humid. I spent the next three hours with my handy respirator on (something you really want to use while working with this and similar products) applying the first coat of black. By my calculations, there should have been enough for two coats of black, but I must have neglected to carry the three or something, because at noon, I had one coat on the items, and no more black. Whoops!
Fortunately, I had another quart of a dark gray called Pyroclastic. It is almost a battleship gray, and since that is all I had, I put it on after lunch. It came out looking pretty good.
