Beautiful. For the B-pillar drain, what's the best way to deal with that so paint turns out right and the drain is still functional?

Re: 2wd Blazer gets a color.BLUE

I had to post those from my phone, sorry about them being sideways. The drain is on the lower edge of the half-cab where it meets the bed rail. Water gets in there around the top seal and it drains there on each side. I read an interesting thread here once about it, I'll see if I can find it. My truck was repainted a long time ago. I don't know if this rust is from the drain being painted shut or not. But you'll see a lot of K5's rust in this area.

For the record, if it's a garage-kept toy driven only when it's nice out, it'll probably never matter. I'm just curious about what painters do there or if many are even aware it's there.

BTW, I love seeing that you painted the entire tub. Can't wait to see the rest.

Re: 2wd Blazer gets a color.BLUE

oh, I see, well I have owned 4 mid 80's blazers and have never seen that problem. But than again 55 years in hot sunny Arizona might be why. I think it's rained here 3 or 4 times in the last 55 years. LOL.
