Re: Rat repair.
Well, I knew it would be a much cooler day today so I took the day off.
First up was to do a little touch up smoothing to the seam sealer, then spray with more primer sealer, didn’t take any pic’s.
Next up is a job I have been dreading, stripping the old paint off the inside of my hood, I went downtown yesterday and picked up an assortment of rust and paint removal disks, brushes and grit inpregnated fiber type rotary brushes and went to town on the thing, talk about one dirty job! I also was sure to keep moving around to minimize any heat build up. I tried about everything I bought, and used up what was working best about 1/2 way done, had to clean up a little and drive my old dirty truck up town to buy more stuff. Went through that and decided to call it a day, still not done yet but it’s close.
I learned a big lesson today, once you remove a rag from your rag supply box never ever put it back in that box. When I started working on the pinch weld I grabbed a bunch of rags and laid them alover the dash, carpet and steering wheel and column, unfortunately there was some type of chemical on the rag laying on my brand new column and it damaged the powder coat :/ the only thing I can do is leave it or sand the powder coat and paint it but I have no idea at this point if powder coat and spray paint are compatible..
