If you are still thinking 2 post lift in there somewhere you should’ve made some accommodations for it, it would’ve been super easy. Not so much anymore. Otherwise it looks great!
I also agree on the airless sprayer, you probably could’ve rented one for 2 days and been done. I just painted the outside of my 4K square foot building and the rate at which the paint flies out of those things is phenomenal. The north side of my building is 16’ tall by 80’ long and it took about an hour to spray it. The power washing and scraping took some time too but the paint went on fast.

Love the truck btw!

Thanks, Matt. That truck is a great friend.
With a kid in college, money is tight. Got a spring tuition payment coming 12/16. Ugh. 2-post lift is not in the picture right now. Need walls and bay doors.

On the airless sprayer, plenty of paint came out of my spray gun. The problem was that painting the cross members and trusses caused a lot of paint to miss the mark. I couldn't get the pattern narrow enough. And spray pressure was too high at times, although I could compensate somewhat with the flow adjuster in the gun. Also the wood absorbed a lot of the primer/paint, so things had to be done over and over. Live and learn. Maybe I'll try the airless sprayer next time.

I think the airless sprayer would have helped, hopefully with less refills and a better spray pattern.
