Long time ago... but it's priming time again...

I collected a huge amount of parts to prime in the meanwhile so this promised to become a big time priming session.

And it was. Took 3 days. 6 hours of cleaning and cuffing, 8 hours of priming one side, and 6 hours the next day for the opposite side.

Learned something new again... I noticed that my paint gun was having a lot of problems and at first I though it was due to the paint which was a bit over aged already.
the gun was spitting drops of paint and after a while stopped spraying paint. Very strange. By luck, I found out that the top of my paint bucket that sits on top of the gun was not getting any air inlet in the top. the hole that used to be there was closed with paint from previous paint sessions. I drilled 3 very small holes in the top of the lit and all of a sudden the spray painting worked like a charm again.

Here's an overview of all the parts:
