M1028 Well, Dudley picked up his truck today and he is a happy camper. :beer: Now on to the next project..Ben's (combatmech) M1009 :grd: David

prep Yep, soda blasting leaves a film that you will need to treat with a metal prep.( plus it goes EVERYWHERE) These trucks are not 57 vetts, so for the above pictures of surface rust all that is needed is to sand with 80-100 grit the use a rust treatment then filler primer then paint. They...

Surface rust... Let me clarify surface rust...that's just light rust stains to minor "light" pitting. If it's more than that you will need to follow a different method of repair. Like the guys said above, it will come back if you don't cut it out. David

Rust If it's surface rust just knock off the loose stuff with a wire brush then use POR 15 and paint over the rusted parts. I have used this for years and unless you are doing a show paint job the POR 15 works great and you can top coat it after it dries. :beer: David

Biggest mistake Bruce, I hate working on this truck knowing I passed it up. I made a big mistake! I checked the passenger rear view mirror and it was tight. Thanks. David

Done! Dudley your truck is ready! Come and get it! :grd:

Camo! Painted the truck today. Tell me what you think. :grin: Dudley...this is going to be a great ride!! :mrgreen: David

Herculiner It really takes 24hrs to dry, it's a long drying paint. Thanks, David

Cpappy I use the Rapco paints, follow the mixing ratio on the paint...but I have found it flows and covers better with less thinner. They are easy to work with and you can get the spray cans that are an exact match for touch ups. Yes, I just started using the Herculiner and found it works...

Dye vs Paint Yes, paint will flake off. Use the plastic prep then dye it. David

Progress report The floor is done. And I used the SEM dye "burgundy" color on the kick panels and door panels...this is a PERFECT match to the original interior color. I installed the kick panels, cleaned the gauge lenses, and did some detail work on the interior, now to paint the outside and...

Looks good. I know how much work this stuff takes....it is fun to a point!! :mrgreen: Keep healthy and keep up the good work. David

Nice! Looks good! How many hrs do you have in the truck so far? David

Paint No spray can. I use the Rapco paint and a HVLP gun. The overspray on the firewall will be taken care of and the floor is getting Herculiner. David

Tip #1 I have found that when using the Herculiner it's best to sand and paint the floor that you want to cover with the Herculiner black first. The Herculiner is thick and chunky and has a hard time covering up over top another lighter color. Thus you can see "between" the chunks of rubber in...

m1028 Interior is painted! Now I will Herculiner the floor and detail the rest then install the trim and seat. David
