One side at a time and before you know it Sharleen will have a complete paint job. I plan on painting one side at a time then doing the Woodland Camo before moving on to the other side.
I’m now working on the bed sides of the ISO Bed. They are still heavy, even for one person, two helps a lot especially after they’re painted.
I would really like to get some fresh paint on Sharleen ASAP, but I don’t want to paint over any rust or scratches. Any of the rust is just from chips and scratches. There are no rust holes what so ever anywhere on the hole truck. So it’s some light grinding and off to the DA with some 40 grit then finishing with some 80 before prime. In some cases I'm even doing a wet on wet paint method with the primer and Gilliespie.
I don’t plan on stripping any paint that’s good or spending hours upon hours sand blasting. I’m using regular lacquer prime with a Gillespie top coat. I’m not going to spend hundreds of dollars on expensive epoxy primer. She will look good for many years to come. If I need to re-do a panel over in a couple of years, no problem.
I plan on using Sharleen for parades, shows, trail rides and camping. I’m not going to worry about her. I would like her looking goooood though.
Enjoy the pic…..
