Backbox base coats are now done..Yay!!  first thing this morning I sanded the primer back smooth with 400 grit sandpaper, then a wipe down with Prepsol to get it ready for paint. Before the purple went on I masked off the front backglass surround section as this was to be painted black.

First I sprayed the back of the backbox and allowed it to dry, before laying it onto its back (supported by some wood offcuts under the edges) and spraying the top, bottom and sides in several coats, allowing about 20 minutes between coats. I then left this for several hours to dry. 2nd pic shows the front surround done, picture taken late this afternoon.

While the purple backbox paint was drying I went into the garage and started some reassembly of the cabinet. 2nd pic shows the mylar protectors I made to help protect the cab paint where the legs bolt on. This is something I started doing on my last few restores.
