So Much Sanding

I did not take any photos of me block sanding.  I did a lot of it and there is still more to do.  Also re-primed after block sanding the body and fenders a few times. Here's some photos of that.







I have zero experience painting, so I have learned many things the hard way so far  I have been learning a lot by following forums and Youtube videos. Autobody 101.com is one of the best sites for you to learn things, and hopefully learn from others mistakes...

One thing I learned the hard way is that a bad paint gun makes a mess.  I finally figured out how to use the paint gun properly, and after trying a few different ones I got my hands on I now use this.

This Oldtimer is an Astro 7, a Taiwanese copy of the Binks 7 paint gun.  I "borrowed" this from friend of mine, and at first glance it looks like it's a hundred years old and is probably a piece of crap, but I have managed to dial it in to lay down primer beautifully.
