SquareD Part 3: Body work, paint, roof rack, and farther off course ...
Flyin6:
Well, I got some paint on the thing today
First I washed just the outside areas. I'll paint this, then flip it and paint the inside and top side of the bed next
Flyin6:
While I was at it, I hosed down Square D to remove some of the dust which was about to ruin the truck and cause it to become totally destroyed!
Flyin6:
It took maybe 15 minutes to wash the coating off the bed surface
But
It took almost 4 hours to get it dried off!
I did get a little browning on one side, but both the paint strippers and the paint guys said that would happen and not to worry about it at all
Flyin6:
Here is the 2 part acid etching primer. It is a mix and shoot affair with an eight hour pot life.
The directions said to spray on only one medium coat!
With the color of yellow, there is no way that will cover with even color anyway, so I expected some striping. the bottom line is just to get the metal covered with this stuff which will burn in as it dries
Flyin6:
It mixes a simple 1:1
I wanted to try a small amount first to see how the stuff flowed and to work on the gun settings.
It likes 35psi and a slightly narrowed pattern with a hefty flow rate. That is a for sure recipe for drips and runs!
