Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Just as I suspected...after sanding the high build I get to spray it again with more high build..yeehaw..
I had sanded all the fenders with guide coat and used a durablock...but when I switched to the plexiglass sanding backers, it really showed how bad my work had been..on the 4 fenders I had about a dozen low spots show up and cut thru the high build into the epoxy in several places...most low spots would have filled with some more high build ,but I had 3or4 spots I didn't think the high build would fill properly..so I went ahead and scuffed all the lows with 80g and skimmed on some metalglaze... got that blocked down and now all fenders look good...will spray on another coat or 2 of high build tommorrow and those should be done..
Also got the tailgate in some more epoxy ,,after my last round of sanding exposed alot of bare metal..it looks good now so I'll hit it with high build tomorrow as well..the epoxy has a 3 day recoat window with no sanding..so I'm just gonna spray right on the epoxy without scuffing...
Now to get the bed ready for paint..
Heres the tailgate...I feel so fortunate to have a near blemish free tailgate..I was told it was taken off the truck when new and stored in a barn for many yrs...
