Paint

Asking for a little participation from all two of you who read this blog. What do you think of the color scheme? The current plan is to paint the lower pieces (fenders, running boards, rims) black with the bed, body and hood in rust color as shown here.

meh?

btw, I think I have it set now that you will not have to log-in or anything to post a comment.


I think the paint removal is going pretty well. I have resorted to manually scrapping the old paint off with a spackle knife. Sanding was a mess and I realized that this is probably leaded paint, and that I have exceeded my lifetime lead exposure when I removed the leaded paint in my last house... without gloves, eye protection, respirator or brains.... or did I lose the brains during.... not sure, not sure it matters anymore.

The aircraft paint remover was kinda effective, but SUPER stinky and generally a mess. In the end I stopped using that stuff cause it is yucky... ewy yucky.

After scraping off the paint and sanding out the rust spots, I think it is looking pretty good.
