Surplus Herb’s got in several cases of primer suitable for plastics. It’s not perfect and it is a clear spray, but it IS primer, so I bought 12 cans.

This evening before the winds picked up for the weekend I primed and then put one coat down on the first parts of the machine.

I also did the bottom plate and the inside of the lower portion of the machine.
I might run out of paint before I finish. I decided the interior parts will only see a prime and one coat of paint. The outside I’m hoping to have two cans reserved for each side and the bottom. There are five more cans left at Herb’s so I’ll have to buy that just in case. The wind at least will be nice so I can sand the exterior in preparation for priming. It doesn’t need to be stripped clean. Just enough to clean any dirt or rough spots.
