Step 2Prime Mover...prepping for paint.

Prime Mover...prepping for paint.
"Prime Mover" isn't just a song from the band "Rush, as our next step will be to prime.  The purpose of using Primer is to spray a coat(layer) that will make the cardboard suitable for paint.  Basically, it'll allow the paint to stick to the cardboard without absorbing into it.  Some people choose to use white paint instead as a base, but I find Primer works better as a sealant and helps to save me paint.   

I used short, even strokes to cover the surface of the cardboard, I spray around the (cutouts)window
and leave out spraying the front.  Later we'll place a piece of foam board to cover the front.

Tip: Avoid working in an area that's enclosed, an open space is ideal...so I chose to work outside.
