With a bit of good weather this morning I decided to start prep work on the outside of my 90.
I'm doing a section at a time starting with the LH side of the tub and sides round to the rear door.
Sanded paint chips and oxidisation back to bare metal, key sandad the rest and cleaned with wipes, etch primed the bare metal bits then the thunder and rain started.
Sod it, pack up for today and get a beer.

Does smell good, yeh I had to do it outside, it's touch dry in about 7 mins so no real issues, spraying is quick and not that hard to do if you have the gear, the prep is the time consuming thing.
 
Prep isnt the problem - i was just wondering due to the touch dry part so i dont get loads of crap on it haha - i might roller/paint because i dont want next door chargin me for overspray on there car hahaha

Probably not a good idea on a breezy day, I did look a bit like the hulk at times.
