キャラバンをタカラ塗料さんの水性塗料、イーグルブルーグレーとマットブラックで全塗装です。
まずは車体から外せるものは外します。
元々がクリア剥げが酷い車両だったのと猛暑で、下地つくりが大変でした・・・。
途中までしこしこと手作業でやっていたのですが、車体がでかくて大変。
猛暑に気持ちが折れ、途中から電動ダブルアクション（電動ヤスリ？）を導入して古いクリアを剥がしました。
手作業からみるとダブルアクションはガンガン進みます。勢い余って削りすぎて地金が出てしまうところも・・・。
下地作りの目処が付いたらマスキングです。
最後は電動スプレーガンで塗りました。
下地作りの大変さを振り返ると、塗装はあっという間ですね。
塗料にはバランサーを多めに入れて作業したのですが、気温が高すぎて難しかった。
塗料が途中で固まってしまい、糸のようになったり…（汗）
まあ近くでまじまじと見なければ大丈夫かな。
手前のアクティも涼しくなったら塗る予定です。
Caravan (E25) was fully painted with Takara Paint water-based.
Caravan is to be fully painted with Takara Paint’s water-based paints, Eagle Blue Gray and Matte Black.
First of all, remove what can be removed from the body.
The original car had a lot of clear peeling and it was very hot, so it was very hard to prepare the surface….
We had been working on it by hand until the middle of the project, but it was very hard because of the size of the car body.
The intense heat broke my heart, and I started to use an electric double action (electric file?) to remove the old clear. I introduced an electric double action (electric file?) to remove the old clear.
From a manual work point of view, the double-action machine was very fast. I was too vigorous in some areas and ended up removing too much metal….
Once the groundwork was in place, it was time for masking.
The last coat was applied with an electric spray gun.
Looking back at how hard it was to make the base, painting went very quickly.
We worked with more balancer in the paint, but it was difficult because the temperature was too high.
The paint hardened in the middle and became thread-like… (sweat)
Well, if you don’t look too closely and seriously, I guess it will be OK.
I plan to paint the acti in the foreground when it cools down.
