Painting project update
You may recall that a few weeks ago I said I was going to start to repaint the truck from yellow to gunmetal blue. Well, after about 12 hours of working, my son and I have the truck disassembled. Luckily, we did not find any real surprises of the bad kind. Here are some photo's:

Re: Painting project update
Hey Bob and son: the truck is really in a good shape, no rust, awesome!! What is the next step? Do you think sanding the car with a higher grit sandpaper?

Re: Painting project update
Can't wait to see the truck in GUNMETAL BLUE. That should look much nicer than canary yellow.

Re: Painting project update
The yellow is the old color and it is an acrylic enamel. It is in great shape, other than the color. I am going to scuff it with scrotch brite pads and then paint over it with gunmetal blue.

Re: Painting project update
For a repaint you should wet sand all surfaces with #400 wet or dry.
