I know 73-87% of you were here for Rusty and not for me, but if you could show some love to Rusty's dad Dusty I think we could keep the pedigree going! [same bad humor and way more shady work]

Hahaha. If Rusty was a Blazer or a Suburban, it would be closer to 91%.

Welcome to the site looking forward to the continuing adventures of Rusty. Good thing is you have great documentation on what has been done to trouble shoot any future problems

**Wgesnerjr** · 10-06-2021, 09:45 AM

Welcome Juan! and welcome back to Rusty.

Glad to see you both here. A lot of us here have had our morning coffee reading the "Adventures of Rusty and The Greg". Enjoy the history.

Hi everyone I have been enjoying driving Rusty to work all week, truck runs great. The first thing I’ll be doing is restoring the wood grain piece of trim on the dash. I’ll show you guys how it comes out, maybe some of ya will want to get yours restored as well.

Looking forward to seeing what paints you use. I need to restore the same woodgrain piece on my steering wheel.

Hey Juan, welcome! Thanks for joining up and it's great that you're posting already. I look forward to seeing your restoration of the wood grain. Are you a painter by profession?

Maybe we can trade for the 71 haha

gmcpainting · 10-19-2021, 07:34 PM

I redid the woodgrain on the piece of trim, but I rushed it and the clear coat shrunk the base coat under the stain... I am re doing it but with this weather I am having to wait days in between coats.

daddyjeep · 10-21-2021, 12:57 PM

I hate when that happens. It did look good though. Do you think you can just sand the clear and respray?

I ended up stripping it and did it over, I went lighter on the base coat and it’s looking better this time.
