This is a dumb question I guess, but do you guys think I should dress up the terrible looking welds on the bed sides and the cab under the doors? They didn't even scrape the weld spatter off... terrible workmanship. It's also too late now but I am concerned about the paint dust getting all in...

This is going incredibly slower than I had envisioned, I'm on vacation all week and thought could have it ready to paint by the weekend, but I've barely done anything. Let me ask you this...how does this look compared to when you guys prep a tuck for painting? I'm going to have to concentrate...

Ok so here is a quick update. The coal slag does seem to work removing rust but isn't very good at removing paint. But my compressor is also only a 25gal. one with a regulator or whatever the part that kicks it on not working correctly. Also I can only operate the gun a few seconds before water...

Ok thanks, I'm going to try this coal from Rural King. It's only $6.99 for 50 lbs. MUCH cheaper than anything at harbor freight.

Ok, thanks. I forgot I was going to try the small needle gun at harbor freight, but a mini sandblaster sounds like a great idea for the hard to reach things like axle bolts and hinges etc. Thank you! Here's one for $20 , Perfect!

Hey guys I have to switch gears from mechanical to paint because of the weather. I intend to scrape off the loose peeling paint and then feather the edges in the best I can with an electric DA then put some rust oleum primer on the places. For the majority of areas where the CARC is still stuck...
