OUTFXD Posted November 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Kinda sorta car related. My sister donated a Tea cart to me. I started doing an "Artsy" paint job on it. Then I found out that she not only didnt expect it back, she didnt WANT it back! So I painted the legs the Blue Ive been using as High light color and now I have a car specific Tool cart! (I put a silicone mat on top of the tray so I wont ruin the paint) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks good once everything is cleaned and has shiny paint. I used POR 15 rust paint (the smallest can) and applied with a small brush. I like the shade of silver and using a brush gives you a bit thicker coat of paint than a spray can. Black is just good quality spray paint. Just my two cents worth. Looks like you are doing good work and accomplishing quite a bit. Bob. Wow. You have a gorgeous engine bay! I am jealous! I do like the silver engine and plan on keeping it that color!

MarcDeSoto Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Are both the exhaust and intake manifolds silver, or is the exhaust manifold black? On most cars it just looks rust colored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OUTFXD Posted November 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I spray on a quick coat of Rustolium. The temps in the mid fifties, I put a Propane heater in the passenger cabin hoping to raise the temp enough the primer will dry before the rain hits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcDeSoto Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 excellent work. The rocker panels almost always rust out. They make replacement rockers I've heard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OUTFXD Posted November 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Repainted the Cowl vent. I was most of the way through before realizing I hadnt taken any before pics. I painted the top piece black for the time being. I will repaint it body color when I paint the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 I really want to put a shark's mouth, ala P-40, on my cowl vent, but alas I am no artist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUTFXD Posted November 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 That is a great idea! You could have a P.A. system that plays the Jaws theme when you open the vent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OUTFXD Posted November 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Two Hinge Brackets from the Cowl vent and the bracket that holds the vacuum actuator for the windshield wipers. They where pretty rusty. and I am pretty sure the Windshield wiper motor bracket was never painted at all. I am out of semigloss black so I painted them Glossy black. I mean, they are going to be tucked up under the dash where no one will ever see them anyways.

OUTFXD Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Wire brushed the loose rust, and degreased/washed the floor pan. Got up a TON of Dirt and scale. set up my Propane heater to dry it out. I will go over the rust and wash again. The rusty stuff will be cut out and new panels welded in at a later date. At the moment just stopping additional damage (and cleaning it up). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'm glad your in Washington and I'm in England. If I was any closer and sat idle for any amount of time I might end up painted Black and Blue. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUTFXD Posted November 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Gusting winds Where tearing my tarp garage apart so I had to delay priming the floor to tear it down before it blew into the neighbors yard. As soon as I was done taking it down it rained an entire cloud, limiting what I could primer. I got about 85% done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Unless that floor has pin holes or is surface rusted to the point of being too thin no need to cut out and replace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
