ZORK2:
Thanks!It is really coming along now.
Yes I think I might be addicted. I'm already thinking of some "future" projects I'd like to start!!
ZORK2:
The big thing was to bondo all the edges of the cab. It was pretty beat and I was concerned about the new side art not sitting flush againt a jagged edge. So I filled it all, sanded, filled and repeated until I was happy and most of the lines were straight and the edges were crisp. At that point I wheeled the cab out of my garage and grabbed the can of primer and went to town. I was lucky that day, the day temps were near 70, a rarity for NE Ohio in early April.
I blew through nearly 2 can on primer, and rolled the cab back into the garage to dry.
ZORK2:
After it dryed, I lightly sanded the entire cab with 150G and then wiped it down with a wet towl to remove all the excess dust and prep it for the new side art.
ZORK2:
At this point the main part of the cab was prepped and ready for the new side art that was on it's way from mamemarquee.com. There was still plenty to do. The CP box was next. The paint on it was rolled on, peeling, and all the corners were rounded. The palm sander and bondo was the solution. A couple of Bondo, sand, bondo sand, cycles the box looked great! Another light sanding with 150 and primer, I painted it with rust oleum high lustre coating spray paint. It turned out fantastic!
ZORK2:
This turned out really nice. The corners are all very crisp and the paint(Rust-Olreum Laquer) worked very well. The paint(for a can) turned out better than excpected. No lines, out evidence of using a can. I used 4ish light coats....
