kpinnc 14,899 #76 Posted Sunday at 01:33 AM I decided the sheetmetal was gonna need to be stripped and repainted. But I haven't been able to make time for several weeks. Just for giggles, I decided to try Rustoleum mixed with hardener and a HLVP gun. I was surprised by how well it looked. The hood is gonna take some more work, but the fender turned out better. Time will tell, but so far so good. 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 7,294 #77 Posted Sunday at 03:32 AM Using a gun with Rustoleum with Acetone and hardener is the way to go. I need to get the rest of the 308 sanded and ready to paint. Got the hood ready it had a few rusted spot under the original paint that needed to be fixed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MainelyWheelhorse 1,788 #79 Posted yesterday at 02:44 AM The ACE brand implement paint works well too. It seemed to be thin enough when I painted the C-141 to run through a HVLP gun with no reducer. It came out great. I’ve used Rustoleum as well. It required a reducer.I like the ACE better. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
