Sunday I thought I would quickly strip and prime one of the bed steps only do discover the finish goes in this order: clear, olive green metallic, mint green metallic, and primer. The greens and clear were laid on thick. After much sanding, blasting, and a bit of swearing I did get a quick coat of primer on the bare metal. Gotta come up with a better plan for the rest of the bed.
As is often the case when working on 40+ year old vehicles you can expect it to take twice as long and cost three times what you expected. Or vice versa. Welcome to our club.
