Chipping away at the project.
What I've accomplished since last update:
- Got all rust cut out of the drivers side rear wheel well
- Fitted patch panels
- Prepped rust areas with Marine Clean
- Experimented with POR15 on the bed support rods (marine clean, metal ready, POR15...followed directions to the T). Like the way it turned out.
The plan:
- Prep non-rusty portions of inner wheel well and inside of bed, per epoxy directions
- Prep rusty areas per POR15 directions (Metal Ready)
- POR15 just the rusty areas (two thin coats)
- When POR is tacky, prime PORed areas and remainder of inner wheel well / inside of bed with Epoxy
- Panel bond adhesive the patch panels in (Lord Fusor)
- Expoxy patch panels
- Top coat with POR Chassis Black
- Reinstall fender flares
- Move on to the Rocker Panels...
Patch panels
Paint goodies
Trying this way to store POR15....glass container with metal lid (rubber bushing). Seems to be doing well
