This is an ol term we used back in the day. It refers to painting the edges and or underside of a piece to be painted. Such as a an auto hood, deck lid or door jambs. Anybody remember the trunk be called the Turtle ???

Is this even still practiced or apply to painting motor cycle parts.
Doing a color change has me wondering about this.

Thanks WP

 

Back..... Wonder if turtle wax got its name from that....

 

Mostly I just hang the parts so you can paint the entire part.

 

That is the way I was taught. Edges and under the piece were done first to avoid overspray later. Never called the trunk a turtle......

 

its called a boot over seas

 

Has this been done with a 2 stage or 3 stage paint?? If so got any idea on step by step procudure??

I always "cut in" new or replacement parts ... It just seemed to be the right thing to do.

 

Kinda thinking I may have to do the same, it would just made sure I had solid coverage being in a small paint area (room)

Yep, did just that to all the parts I just finished painting with black spray epoxy. Seems unfinished not to.

 

Yes sir, turle hull.
