wheee! Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share #2210 Posted November 22, 2018 So the old original passenger fender yielded no surprises. Good condition under the paint and bondo and should be an easy prep and prime later on! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi again, just making my way through the thread, still........thank you BTW for all the documentation. If I missed it forgive me, but what did you do with the body to prep for priming? I didnt see if any what you did after the media blasting to seal the metal from flash rusting. True inspiration, and its kind of scaring me, just a little.

wheee! Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share #2212 Posted November 24, 2018 Nothing more than oil and grease remover before spraying the 2K primer. I left the car with some dessicant bags to keep moisture away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheee! Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share #2215 Posted November 25, 2018 Some of the shop scrap metal did have some flash though. Nothing too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The humidity in this part of the world tends to be pretty low. We generally don't have to rush to seal the metal after exposing it. The hand lotion companies do great business here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats great, if I tried that in North Florida, the Z would be toast. I was getting concerned after a bunch pages and I never saw primer being applied after the media. I'm not jumping ahead on the thread, I dont want to spoil the good show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheee! Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share #2220 Posted November 26, 2018 Powder coating something is a very satisfying feeling. Watching it turn into a nice glossy finish is a beautiful thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
