I was going to stop and get a few more pictures but when I drove by, it's no longer at the garage.
I did a lot of work on my vehicle today.
Since I have power at the shop (aka huuuuge daisy chain of electrical cords) it’s time to paint stuff.
Starting off. Wire wheel, shop vac, and degreaser (brake cleaner).
Now cleaner, just enough for hammerite.
Now paint
Much better but could use a second coat
Hammerite smooth dark green is NOT a color match for the original paint. It’s much closer to British military green than the OD of the original Czech/Russian paint. It’s going in all the high wear areas to keep it looking nice/nicer and stop any rust spots from forming. Hammerite can be applied with a minimal of cleaning and prep and with a brush. Handy for someone with no air compressor or paint experience.
Lots of work done the past couple days since I have been off.
Before (just wire wheeled it)
After
Exposed steel rusts quickly but this won’t now.
The more days off I have the more stuff I get done on this
Needs another coat
Cleaned and prepped
Much better and protected.
I still have 3 more areas to focus on but then it's pretty much mostly done.
