Well, I've been working steadily for the last several weekends getting the front trunk prepped. I've had to fill about a dozen holes left over from the dealer installed A/C system. I also replaced the front trunk floor. Here's the before shot of the trunk floor.

I've found that newspaper has a lot of loose fibers that get kicked up in the air and settle on your topcoats, causing dust nibs. Good quality masking paper does not have this problem, and it's more resistant to paint bleeding through. You can use aluminum foil to wrap up small parts and wiring too, and it doesn't have the same problem as newsprint. Also, remove all masking you used for primering and remask. Primer dust and particles can dislodge from the old masking and blow off into your new fresh paint. |
