[QUOTE="Air Cooled Rookie, post: 633048, member: 933"] The preparation for painting went on, and on, and on. it wasn't exciting in the least, so I've hardly any photos, but I will say that I found getting the side panels flat and without slight ripples very, very difficult. The turning point came when I watch a video on YouTube about how to get panels flat, and the guy used a sanding block about a metre long. I had a bit of top hat steel section left from when I did the repairs to the chassis outriggers, so I stuck some 120 grit abrasive paper to this and off I went. Using a long sanding block really did make all the difference, and I recommend anyone doing this job does the same. [/QUOTE]
