Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration
I blocked out the bedsides this weekend with 220, hit metal in a few small areas and spot sprayed epoxy on the bare metal. Will do another coat of high build and block to 400, then sealer and paint when ready. Fenders, cowl, hood also ready to 400 block. Ordered a new passenger door skin, going to redo that. The doors have been my arch nemesis. Sprayed raptor liner inside rear tubs and front inner fenders. I really like raptor liner.
Got tired of block sanding, so I switched gears to bumpers. Used a DA with 80 grit and took bumpers down to metal, sprayed epoxy and single stage white on the bumpers. Came out very well, great gloss.
For the epoxy and high build primers I have been using the harbor freight purple gun, and it works darn good. I have it set up pretty well so I used it to spray the white SS as well. I'll use my devilbiss for the blue.
