Mr.Gasket...
i bought it from a a small retailer, who sells and produce (mix) paint.The mfr -i don't know it. And to be fair - its partial my fault. He always said buy enough for the wole truck, otherwise you will have different colours. I was afraid about dry out, cause i don't know how much it takes to...

this is the homemade sandblasting-box....simply a transportbox with chipboards...works very well, catches most of the sand and you can reuse it.
On the sandblaster i've modified the ball valve for using a foot pedal. a redneck-high-flow-valve :mrgreen:
Very helpfull for the small parts.
Thanks at all for the kind words!

the frame was in good condition, very little rust and chipping paint. I removed the rust and lose paint with a needle scaler and thats it.
