Right... Lets get this straight from the start, this is the first time I have done this. Hopefully if it goes well, it will give other learners the encouragement to have a go.

Watched a few YouTube videos of people who definitely know what they are doing, and read up on some threads here.

So this is me...

Rubbed down the body with some 800 grit wet and dry to form a key for the primer
   

I bought one of these crocodile clip stands in anticipation of using it to hold a body whilst painting it. 
   

Wrapped the stand in newspaper to reduce the paint going on it, held it at arms length and gave the body a first coat of primer. 
   

For the second coat of primer, I put the stand on the lawn to avoid getting primer all over my hand...
   


So now I leave it a day before doing the top coats tomorrow evening.
