More painting...

I figured, since we have painted the dash white, why stop there? The idea was I would paint the cargo cover for the hatch, and the other little bits that go with it white as well. After a quick stop at the Dollar Store, I had some men's razors, then off to the Canadian Mafucka for some white enamel paint. This is where it goes wrong... I bought the rust paint and went over to Steve's, to get started.

After removing the cargo cover from the boot, and the other remaining bits that go with it, I went to the laundry room in Steve's basement. The cargo cover, after having most of the fluffy stuff shaved off with the razors was ready to paint. After the first coat of paint it was more of a light grey than white, but no big deal right? I started on the other bits and once I was done the first piece, I had a slight problem.

As I walked out of the laundry room in a haze, due to the lack of proper ventilation I was getting a little silly. After the ordeal, Steve decided to take a whack at it, realizing the paint he used on the dash in the laundry room was enamel, which was much faster drying and had WAAAAY less fumes. And after a slight buzz the final bits were finally coated and we were able to get out of the basement and sit outside for a while. We really needed the fresh air.

I realize this was kind of a whacky post, but I figured since we could have died, it was worth putting up. I also have more pictures to add, and I am thinking about starting up a YouTube channel to further catalouge our follies and other whacky adventures. But for now, everyone will just have to imagine us all whacked out on paint fumes.
