Re: Restoring Rusty - Painting Bed Sides
we learned the best time to paint is in the morning, we also know the best time to water the lawn is in the morning, so we put one and two together, carry the one, and that's right folks remember to turn off the sprinklers, YES EVEN THE LOW PRESSURE DRIP SYSTEM - just sayin' more on that later, LOL
first coat going on |

Re: Restoring Rusty
well we're going to use some baking soda and water to neutralize that phosphoric acid wash and then hose it off real good and scrub it with a scotch bright, and that's as good as the frame is going to get, it is Paint Over Rust (POR-15) after all and not Paint Over peRfection (see what I did there) hee hee

Re: Restoring Rusty
That looks pretty decent for a tough job and a guy with a bad back.

Re: Restoring Rusty
If my back was just a little better I'd be offering up my assistance this weekend. I figure two dudes with toasted backs might equal one dude with a decent back.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Greg, it's quite cool that you found a color that matches quite well to original! You got lucky on that one... She looks great! Keep it up!

Re: Restoring Rusty
Hope all goes well for you. I hope you have a place to move to in your sour time. I absolutely hate moving. Last time I moved my wife and I moved 70 percent or more of our stuff ourselves. Then my few friends came over on a Saturday and we moved the heavy stuff. I'm still looking through boxes....grr.

Re: Restoring Rusty
quick update, found a new house for rent, got approved, got moved in on Fathers Day - thanks to a buddy with a "complete" truck, my baby bro and our soon to be sis in law) all in about 3 days, it has been insanity on wheels, liking the new place, its a one story this time, (thank god) with a three car tandem garage, so it looks like a two car from the outside, the back is feeling better, far from normal, but better, Rusty and parts is all that remains at the old place, gonna visit him, and paint the frame today, pics will be available if/when Comcast moves our service (lord I pray it goes better than last time) lol, thank you all for wishing us well, much appreciated
