It's Time to Prime! Rattle Can Paint Job update

Grabbed the front fender off the back workbench and gave it a quick sanding with 320 wet as it's nowhere near as beat up as the rear was.  I checked the rear fender and it's pretty smooth.  I got one more fastener off that I was pretty sure would come loose and spot sanded that area.

I then grabbed the blue masking tape and covered the wiring harness I couldn't get off and masked the flap on the bottom of the Sportster rear fender.  While I could just let some overspray get on it, that would look bad and I'm not sure the paint will adhere to plastic that old and road grimed.

Tomorrow I rig my "redneck paint booth" and start painting.  Depending on how early I get started and if I stop to re-sand much I may get it painted tomorrow.  If not I'll probably finish up Sunday.  I'll shoot some pictures and try to make a video too.
