...this is the slog - oh dear - takes for ever =>
Painting bits...
(Thatīs a coat of Fertan epoxy over the top of Brunox rust proofing stuff)
...in between stripping paint off other parts ready for rust treatment
The lower corners / underside of the car has been encased in bitumastic goo which has done a sterling job but makes repainting rather difficult if left in place.
Removal is slow going. Iīm using paint stripper to loosen the bitumen and then scraping off as much as I can.
Higher up the front part of the body thereīs been a coat of stone chip applied to the chassis legs. This too has done a good job of holding back the rust (for once!) but also needs to be tackled with paint stripper as my favourite angle grinder and wire brush attachment just manages to heat up this stuff and push it about.
So today was just paint stripping and scraping - waiting until the paint stripper dries is very important for the next step with the wire brush and angle grinder as large fast rotating wire brushes flinging wet paint stripper about the shop isnīt pleasant...
