The little dump truck is like most of our projects in that it seems to require endless work and effort to bring it from the beginning stages and through the prep work to the paint. Then, in a hurry it seems to come together as the paint goes on. Tonight the first coats of color were brushed on. Hailey painted the red while Bec and I started in on the other colors.

In a couple of hours we had covered the truck with one coat of paint.

We'll let it dry overnight and then hit it again tomorrow. The new batteries have been ordered and the hydraulics are ready to be hooked up. We'll be test driving shortly.
