This bad boy had only seen 20 pails of paint at this point.
Good tip lol

Can you change out the hose and run a longer one for oh let's say painting a building?

The hose on that machine is 100 ft and it
has been used multiple times for that exact task. Just change your spray tip and go. So that's an affirmative.

That's cleaner than me after pulling the touch up bottle out of the glovebox...

I'm a paint magnet.

If anyone is looking for a new dump http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ486422108

Mileage will change as the truck is still being used daily. I can get pics of the plow but will need to unload it from summer storage. Truck and plow were backup units and the plow still has the original cutting edge on it.

Hope everyone is having a busy season.

Temps dropped to 6 by 9:00 this morning, 50k wind with a steady drizzle, everyone is soaked and freezing time to call it a day. Cant believe I had the air on last night and now I am freezing and thinking about turning on the heat.
