RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. 2.0 (Part 2)

I originally had the crazy idea to cut out every piece and paint it individually. When I saw that many of the pieces were small enough for me to be able to inhale, that idea went out the window.

I decided to just spray paint the entire runner and worry about any after-cutting touching up later.

Here is a picture before I started. The runner and I were very nervous; it was both our first time.

The spray painting began in the garage. As I was spraying, I noticed bumps appearing on the shield and realized that dust was collecting on the pieces. I looked up at the light, and to my horror, saw all kinds of dust particles floating around. The garage was out - too much dust. I took the paint off with thinner and took it outside to try again.

I set everything up, aimed the spray can and started spraying. The wind promptly blew all the paint in my face, and not on the runner. I had no choice but to do the painting in my apartment. Needless to say, my apartment stunk of spray paint for two days, and I'm certain I suffered brain damage. At what price, this Gundam?

Here we have some runners drying throughout the apartment. You get very creative when paint fumes are eroding your brain cells.

Here is the styrofoam I used to keep the paint from going everywhere.

And that was painting!
