101 gets new CARC

[ranchhopper]

I had a few spare hours today so I decided to prep and paint an old 101A1 I got in a trade deal a few weeks ago it was pretty sorry looking and had bad tires so I found a set of 10 ply 16 inch tires behind the shop and replaced them and next on the list was a new paint job. It had the typical roller paint job from the NG so I scraped off lots of flaking paint and shot it in three color CARC now it matches the rest of the fleet.

I like it.

Silly question though, since mine is different, what do you do with the electrical cable when you plug it in? I mean its looks really long, doenst it drag? Mine is shorter, its only 6' and it hangs nicely with enough slack, but doesnt come close to dragging.

Wow outstanding paint job. What kind of gear are you using? Mostly looking that paint gun.

It is just the right length it has just enough slack to make tight turns without coming out.

I have an expensive gun for doing metallic paint and other urethane paints but I prefer the harbor freight cheap gravity feed guns. Reason being they have a larger needle and seat like a primer gun better for the thicker paint like CARC not as much reducing the paint and fewer coats.
