Painted a door today to see if the orange looks "right" for my McLaren look-alike

For you guys that choose to paint your own projects, or larger pieces for them, I've found you just about can't beat fabricating painting props out of PVC pipe. I build these to hold the piece at a comfortable height above ground for 360 degree painting (over and under as well).

With the odd shape of the doors, a flat table was impractical for sanding, and unusable for painting. So, in about an hour I built the PVC pipe props. They aren't rigid enough to do any real work on them, but they suffice well enough to do any finish pin-hole filling, sanding, priming, and painting. Then they can be quickly cut up and thrown away without much fuss or lost money. Extremely light weight, so moving them around is a breeze. The bottom prop with the orange paint was the door prop.











This was a PVC pipe paint booth that I used to paint my previous project. No overspray, and not trash anywhere, and all cleaned up in a couple of hours.
