Painted the garage. Pics

It took two gallons of Orange Fruit, two gallons Flat Black, one gallon Battleship Grey, one gallon Killz and six spray cans off Flat Black. I also added the four storage racks, still have a few more neon signs and a couple Jeep grills from the 50's. Sorry the pics are crappy, my camera is so old I think it is only a one "mega-pickle".













I was going to hang this one also but the wife looked it up and turns out to be worth $1,000.

You mean the wall niche for the hot water heater?

Only thing left is to swap the hinges and handles on the garage fridge and put a stopper on the wall so you don't drunkenly bang it into that pretty paint.

Looks tidy!

What model? We have the S40 T5 AWD with the six speed, our family "sleeper". I love the torque of the T5, in traffic you can almost come to a stop in 6th gear and pull back up to speed without a down shift.

I believe the hinges on those refrigerators can be placed on either side. That is a clean garage sir... well done!

It is autographed by Kimi, I sure hope he gets things worked out this weekend.



Thanks for the complements, I was going to go with just white but figured what the hell it is just paint.
