LORRY TRUCK

The painted Mercedes LorryTruck is built with project panel plywood

and MDF for the smoothest finish. Finish is spray can Krylon or
Rust-Oleum white primer and color glosses. Krylon brush-on Color
Creations also works well. With both types of paint, apply 2 coats
of primer sanding each coat with 220 sandpaper when dry. Apply
3 coats of color sanding with 400 sandpaper when dry. Apply final
coat of Krylon Triple Thick Clear. All Krylon and Rust-Oleum paints
and finishes are non-toxic when dry.
