Heavy Equipment Door » Kitchener-20120731-00045

I painted it yellow first, concentrating around the edges and top half, where the hazard stripes and logo will go. I actually had to go get another can of paint, as one is not enough for a door.

I painted it yellow first, concentrating around the edges and top half, where the hazard stripes and logo will go. I actually had to go get another can of paint, as one is not enough for a door.

The door is off its hinges and in the painting booth! I used a razor scraper to remove the tape and residue, filed down the burrs from ancient drilled holes, then cleaned it down with a wet cloth.
I marked 45-degree angles by measuring a square on the door, then running tape from one corner to the other. I placed rows of tape carefully, one after the other, until the door was completely taped. Alternating rows I only used a couple of short pieces, just to keep subsequent rows lined up. I then removed the small pieces. I marked the inner rectangular area, then cut and removed those inner pieces.
