Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I shipped off the last of the cabinets I've been building for the last few weeks and started back on prepping the trans for paint. I made the little spacers for the bolt heads. I'm just evening up the casting and removing the little klingons from the casting. I know most would consider this a futile activity but I don't much care. I'm getting experience using my tools and learning what abrasives work best in what situations. I also can't see how you can discount all the aerodynamic turbulence created by the klingons and uneven castings. Just cleaning it up a bit and there seems to be kind of a layer of impurities or kind of a slag on the smoother castings. I don't know if the light sanding will help to promote adhesion but it can't hurt, right? I'm doing primer, base, clear. Still a little torn between epoxy or self etching primer but leaning heavily toward epoxy. I have both on hand. Thank you for your time.
