Just finished painting the Burb
When I bought this truck a couple of years ago, it had large cracks in the paint on the rear 1/4 panels where someone had fixed some damage with filler, but no metal work, so the filler cracked, which then cracked and flaked the paint. Also, there was rust in the floors, front and rear of the rear wheel wells, a split in the sheet metal on the rear corner (tail light area), and rust around the top of the windshield frame ("luckily" the windshield was cracked and needed to be replaced, otherwise I would never had seen the rust. I caught it just in time).
Anyways, after several patch panels welded in and lots of filling, sanding, filling, sanding, priming, sanding, priming, sanding....it is done. I also added white to the "C" pillar and top of hatch, which was painted all red before. Well, the results are "OK" at best. Probably as good as can be expected when painting in the driveway under a tarp. Certainly better than the cracked paint and peeling clearcoat that was there before...... Here are some pics: Before the paint, you can see all the clear on the hood flaking: During the bodywork phase: After the primer: ....And after the paint: Tim
