Re: 71 C10 LB: Code Name Sloth

I lost count around 25-26 hours of wet sanding. Found some hidden spot paint repairs (no real damage under it that I could discern), a lot of spots where paint was super thin (not surprised) and lost of places with bare metal under the black spray paint. I could have been a little more delicates, but I’ll be honest, that black paint was thick and acted like oil based implement paint with a hard enter in it. Some places I had to start with 80grit on a DA to break through the top half before hitting with 220/320/400! All good though as I like the look. Not sure I’ll get the Patina Sauce on before the C10 Intervention Saturday since I lost two days of my weekend to forced work. But here it is from 5 years ago when I bought it to yesterday.
