Today was Day Two of the 205 "Work Party" and Day One of "Frank's Boss Is Wondering Where He Is." It was a pretty quiet day on the property, with Tim Peters' work on "L" car 1268 the only other obvious activity. I sanded down yesterday's paint job and then sprayed a coat of primer on the car. Overall the surface finish thus produced is quite satisfactory, I think; there are a number of runs (nobody ever accused me of being a good spray painter) and some other spots I want to touch-sand tomorrow, but overall the side sheets of the car are a good deal smoother than when I started. Success!
In other news, I also primed the roof ladder, which will later be painted dark green, and attached the trolley retrievers that had been primed back in early May. The trolley ropes look a lot better cleated to the retrievers and not hanging slack. The photo accompanying this post is a cell phone photo; note the newspaper masking festooning the car for spraying on primer.
Know anyone with experience spraying Centari who would be willing to turn this car orange?

Jamie K has a lot of experience shooting Centari. It's what almost all the diesels were painted with.
