Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window

June 5, 2016

Stopped by the body shop yesterday to see if my bedsides had been delivered to the shop by the sandblaster/powder coater?

The good news is they had.
The bad news is that the angle strips had NOT been removed as I had been told they would be before powder coating!

The painter was in the booth but I told his son about my concern so we'll see what happens. I'd been told he would remove the angle strips, the sides would be reblasted and THEN they would be powder coated with red as a primer before the real primer. According to him this was to remove the rust that had formed behind the angle strips over the years made sense to me. I didn't know to ask for this and now I feel like I want it done, ha ha!

A pic to prove it happened:
