Yes, I had it done at American Metal Cleaning off of Vancouver Way.

I am going to have it primed by the end of this next week. It's been raining here and you guys got me all nervous so I went out to the garage last night to make sure I still had a cab. It's still not showing any signs of rust, except for the few spots I missed with the steel wool because it started raining when I was bringing it home. But they brush right off.

Looks good. Are you planning on redoing it the original color? Was that 2 tone Dark Green & Med. Olive Roof & middle? If so, that is a pretty unusual combo IMO.

I agree too that you should try and seal every possible square inch of metal ASAFP. Eastwood sells some products in their catalog similar to POR 15 that would work well for your situation. They are even available in spray can(although I would use a spray gun).

It was originally a Dark Olive truck with Medium Olive on top only. Somebody later painted white on the roof and in the middle. I plan on painting it a two-tone blue and white.

Dipping is the way to go if you can afford it and can find a place to do it. Really brings out all the rust places that could be missied otherwise. Good job.

It would probably cost around $600 to have it media stripped so this was worth it to me. It gets it so much cleaner.
