and a little more accomplished
blasted, used 6 bags of media.
Didn't want to chance warping the quarters or roof by blasting, so I DA'd with 80 to bare metal, the E-Coat came off pretty easy.
Epoxied, mixed 4 quarts of DP74 (red oxide) with 1 quart of DP90 (black) to get the correct color. Why I don't know as it is not a resto. Anyway used 2-1/2 quarts.
Black Epoxy, DP90, shot black only on the frame rails and the rockers as its hard to paint up to the bedliner without seeing the undercoat in places. and I taped off where bolts go and wanted black there.
Bedliner, Used U-Pol Raptor 1 gallon kit. wished I had another 1/2 gallon, but it covered well, 2 coats overall and 3 in the rear wheel wells.
And last but not least been playing with the color match. I want to be as close to the original Lucerne blue as I can get. the left is Axaltas mix, the center is the original on my cowl side and the right is PPG.
This is gonna take some work.
