Re: 1965 C10 Fleet Project - unfinished business
Frame paint day - probably one of the last dry / warmish days left in UK so its time to get the main frame covered up with epoxy paint.
This Rustbuster 2 part stuff is meant to either be midcoat or topcoat - depending on how shiny you want it.
I went for a mid grey but will do all the axle, trailing arms and other suspension stuff in satin black so it doesn't stand out too much.
Im not after shiny but I don't want this thing rusting on me too fast.
I got the frame up on blocks (gonna need a hot bath tonight) and prepped it with panel wipe and got mixing the paint up.
I haven't done a lot of painting but a fair bit of YouTubing :-) - what could go wrong.
Paint-gun for this stuff is a cheapo from Amazon with a 2.0 nozzle.
Paint mixes up equal parts of A and B plus thinners to suit. I went for 15%.
During the paint mixing and filtering into the jug I realised I forgot to buy a gun rack - ha a trusty C10 cab mount - perfect...
Let the paint do its thing for 10 minutes then got going...
