OOPS, Missed a Spot (More Green)

[Barrman]

I painted my truck a few parts at a time last summer. The last part I did was inside the bed. I wanted it green before the Texas FE, I wanted a green toolbox and I wanted to not paint the tool box I had. So, I just left the tool box in the bed and painted around it. Here we are 5 months later and I have another tool box to paint. So, I pulled all the stuff out of the installed tool box(there was more stuff than I thought in there.), removed the box and found the spot I missed. I also had a roll bar mounted between the cab and bed last summer. I painted around it too. With the roll bar and tool box gone, I had a huge white spot in the middle of my truck.

I sanded it all down and painted it a few hours ago. I also painted the other tool box and a bunch of M35 parts. My painting muscles are getting back in shape after the winter off. My arm doesn't hurt near as much as it did two weeks ago when I painted some other M35 stuff.

Hah! Good job Tim. This will be your practice for painting my 109a3.

A nice well lit shop you've got there Barrman.

Thanks,
Here it is this morning with the tool box in the bed. I still need to bolt it down and fill it up, but it looks a lot better to me.

The shop is well lit, but the car port isn't. I am suprised the tool box came out green. Half of it was in shadow while I was painting last night. Painting a dark green over black in shadow at night is not something you can actually see. I was looking at the reflection of the wettest paint and trying to paint next to it. But, that was on the back side of the toolbox which is now hidden next to the front of the bed so it woudn't matter if i did miss a few spots.
