Tried something yesterday
My son's 69 has a lot of surface rust on the top, nothing really bad, but it has been bugging me for a while. So, with a beer in hand, I took my little Ryobi orbital sander and a fairly aggressive grit paper and went to sanding out the rust. I got to bare metal on the spots and to the undercoating around the rust. Then, I took a spray can of primer and hit it with that. Then a can of flat black and hit it with that. I know, it is not a paint job, but I am hoping it will at least stop the rust and protect the top a little bit so that we don't have to replace the whole top. I will post some pics, but just thought I would put it out there and have you guys nail me to the cross. LOL.
