well here's today's progress.seems like a huge step backwards but one i have to make.my buddy Keith drove here this morning to lend a hand getting the engine out of my truck,Keith has a nice bronze/white 72 truck.i can't believe it but it's actually worse than i thought was even possible.the front frame section is covered in white,the brake lines,power steering hoses,trans cooler lines and gas lines,all covered.i had all that stuff off,cleaned,looking like new,painted the frame and re-installed all those hard lines,i'll have to do it all again.as well as the first table load of brackets,pulleys,battery box and everything else to clean and or repaint.the rad support,rad,shroud,even the wiring harness is painted and i have no idea how to get that paint off but i'll come up with something hopefully.then of course,the engine is a mess but that's easy.better days are coming.

What paint did u use to paint it the first time

[mr.mud1]

hi,the black is Tremclad semi-gloss.i don't know if you have in the states?although Tremclad is owned by Rustoleum and we have that here too but i don't know if it's the same paint?the orange is Chevy Orange from Duplicolor over the Duplicolor engine paint primer they recommend and the white overspray is PPG single stage urethane.the jerk that made the mess went ahead and sprayed black of some sort all over the rad support and other places trying to hide his disaster,i don't know what he used but i imagine just something out of a rattle can.it's a mess.

Is the paint you used out of a rattle can or paint gun . If it is out of a paint gun and the paint has hardener in it try using a 3 inch mini buffer and compound to buff the over spray off.
