Priming time again...

Since I discovered why my paint gun was spitting paint and not working consistently, this time the priming went much smoother.

Last time I found out that the pot on top of the gun was not sucking air anymore through the air vents due to excessive dried paint. Using a needle, I made 2 small perforations in the lid and now the gun works as new again.

I was running out of paint towards the end but fortunatly I was able to finish all parts with the last bits in my paint gun.

 Since akzo nobel is not producing this primer anymore, I'll have to find another solution for the remaining parts. There aren't so many anymore but yet I'll have to find another primer of the same type so that it is compatible with the finishing paint.

I realized I also need to start thinking of buying finish paint for the interior... decisions decisions, decisions...
