Weather isn't too cold for working outside! Looks like you've got a lot of work ahead of you! Also looks like a good project though. I was out working on the truck till about 10:30 PM last night - weather was great... mosquitoes were another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I've never used a roller but always wanted to. I've used spray bombs and a real paint gun and made an awful mess with both. We'll see what happens next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
