55.2-59 Ol' Blue

[8man]

Well, new endeavor for me today. I got a HF paint gun and some Master Coat rustproofing and for the first time in my life, I mixed paint and sprayed it with a gun.

I used the Master Coat on the Cherokee frame 12 years ago, and it still looks just like it did the day I "brushed" it on. This means there are some brush marks in it, but there is absolutely no rust. So, this time I thought I'd just try spraying it. I think it worked, but the test will be when I do the topcoat to see if it looks good.

A number of the parts are to hold the Cameo bed fiberglass to the steel bed sides. Some is for the frame, like front bumper mounts and some of the rear spring stuff.

Anyway, I can now say "I'll never be a painter!" Painters have a talent I'll never have. Also, I can make a mess so big it takes hours to clean up, but I did like the way the Mastercoat went on.
