prime weather

I'm going to start painting my model by painting bits of the engine first. They're small, different colors, and they really need to be painted before putting the model together.

I started by separating the engine pieces from the others

The humidity/temperature combination was right this evening, so I took that section outside and primed it.

I just shot the primer at the parts perpendicularly. Looking at the cowl here, I think I need to shoot the side a little better with the primer.

The can indicates that you should put two coats of primer on anyway, so I'll try to get better coverage on the next coat.
