After basically being away from my project for a year, I'm finally back in the game! �The last two weeks have been spent completing bodywork on the tub and getting it ready to paint. �For anyone who hasn't painted one of these yet, let me tell you something. �There are an unreal amount of seams, crevices, holes and corners that have to be scuffed/sanded! �Between my friend and I, we have painted quite a few different vehicles both old and new from tractors to cars to lawnmowers and everything in between. �This jeep tub has been the most difficult and time consuming!
First we did all the major body work and sprayed a layer of epoxy sealer primer on the tub.
After that, we found a few more spots that needed juuuuuuuuuuust a touch more work..
Last night we sprayed 3 coats of urathane filler primer on the exterior of the body to block sand and smooth for the final coat. �
Let me tell, my buddy is an excellent body man and this tub is straight! �I'm trying to sneak away from the office right now so we can move the tub to his paint booth. �This afternoon/evening he will spray the bottom and inside Normandy Blue in basecoat/clearcoat. �If everything goes according to plan, we'll block the outside and spray it Saturday or Sunday evening.
Don't worry, I'll post better quality photos when its done!!
