Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work

The windshield trim panels needed stripping repair. They were treated with PPG DX series Metal Cleaner and Metal Conditioner before being primed with DP90.










The dash panel needed stripping so I covered it with rags soaked in lacquer thinner, then covered that with tinfoil until the thinner softened the paint enough to scrape it off.










After scraping off the majority of the old paint, I sandblasted the dash panel. I didn't want to just blast the paint off and take a chance of warping the metal since it was thin and didn't have any shape to strengthen it.

Primed with DP90




And three coats of tinted K36.
