Showing my mistake to Ethan, he shook his head at me&#8230;and I went back to stir some more! After that obstacle was crossed, we kissed and made up, and the primer layed down much nicer on Falcon&#8217;s engine bay and hood underside (the top side still needs bondo).<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/FalconProject_Day08_03.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[21277]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-21280\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"FalconProject_Day08_03\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/FalconProject_Day08_03-575x383.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"575\" height=\"383\" border=\"2\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/FalconProject_Day08_03-575x383.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/FalconProject_Day08_03-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/FalconProject_Day08_03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/FalconProject_Day08_03.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In between my mixing job, I pulled out my can of black 1-shot paint to finish what I&#8217;d started with the grill last night.
