Day 9 of the Palomino overhaul

today I had a couple f hours to work on the pup so I put a third coat of grizzly grip on roof. Then a couple of hours later I stared tackling the frame.

The frame had obviously not been repainted or taken care of since it was built in the 90's. Here you can see:

So the first thing I did was get a polishing/ stripping wheel and use the drill to take all the rust and little paint that remains off.

You can see after 10 seconds it was stripping all the way down to the metal.so after about 30 minutes of grinding I got all the rust off. Then I shop vacuumed it and then I took a rag soaked in acetone and wiped it down. Then I took the black rust-oleum and gave it three good coats!

In between coats I took some putty tape and sealed and placed the wheel wells, vents, door and all other accessory parts that had been grizzly gripped to match the roof and got them back on the body. My sone had my phone by then playing a game so I'll post pics of that later.
