Khaos' RCSB Thread

[Ginger]

just going to wire wheel the rust out of the doors and repaint?

 

[Khaos]

So long as they aren't rotted, yeah. Wire wheel/DA the rust and smooth and paid ideally.

 

[Ginger]

good plan

 

[a-fuso]

Yeah I know what you mean, but I also feel like the inside of the bed doesn't get a chipped and beat up like the rocker panels do, so I would want an added layer of protection on the rockers

 

[Ginger]

when lowered they dont get beat up as much

Yeah I'll see what I'm gonna do down there. Maybe add a clear vinyl layer on the rockers or something, but do not want black honestly. If the truck was a darker color I would.

True true.

Small update. Bed is just about ready for primer, tailgate is in the final stages of body work, and then on to the cab.

And my pile of parts that I have to finish sanding and get ready for some more primer. The rear bumper plastics are also in the same state as these.

Why are you painting the centercaps?

 

[Kyles03]

Did you have rust issues on the wheel well arches? Looks like body filler on there now?

Looking good mane!

Lol my bad, they're just there for storage at the moment.

No, but I did roll the lips so they wouldn't catch the rear tires. My dad just made them look better and smoothed out the inside.

 

[Ginger]

so what is actually being painted on that bench, theres a ton of shit on it lol

 

[Khaos]

Lol on that bench is the mirrors. And behind it are the bumper plastics. That's kind of like the catch-all right now for shit.

 

[Ginger]

hows the rockers and doors coming?

 

[Khaos]

Should be starting them this week hopefully or next.

 

[Ginger]

hopefully they dont take long.

 

[Khaos]

Little update, etching primer has been sprayed:

Dad's gonna hit it with regular primer tomorrow.

 

[a-fuso]

You have a spray booth, or painting this all in your garage?

 

[Khaos]

We have a 3 bay with one single door and one double door. My dad built a wall between the single & double side and the single bay is the spray booth.

You can see in that picture copper piping along the wall. That's to cool the air from the compressor so it can be filtered out and not end up going through the guns.

The wall is just 2x4s with plastic that gets changed out, but it has worked well for all the jobs he's done so far. I'll get a picture next time I'm home.
