Well it is not
bare metal any more. I finished stripping the bed sides for the 70 and got it painted with some Eastwood Rust Encapsulater for now. First time using a paint gun since 1983. Boy did I forget a lot of stuff about painting, but I made some progress anyhow. Least I won't have to worry about the metal tarnishing or rusting out on me as I finish other things up.
Next to finish cleaning and do the step fenders and front fenders. Some day the pieces will go back on  Someday.

Looks like you're doing it right. I am going to be coating my bed with the same thing. Don't know whether to spray it or brush it on. I'm doing just the inside of the bed. What did you cut the Encapsulator with and what was the ratio? I'm thinking that spraying it would cover a greater area with less material. I only have 1 quart of the stuff.......

Sparying was good. I used about a quart and half on the bed, but I was learning my gun too. Think I wasted some with to big a fan pattern. I used laquer thinner to cut it. Just follow the can directions. Wear a mask. It's not as bad as POR, but I wear a mask when I spray anything now days.
