OK, now I'm starting to get into that projects mood again, and with the help of a friend I decided it was time to paint the faded Crown that is on the corner diamond plates on the 4 corners of the truck. With the help of the spray on paint remover the old paint was completely gone in 4 minutes with a wire brush, but this s**t is very caustic or whatever you want to call it, got some on my hand and it burned.
Then went with a spray on paint prep to ensure the Crown area was clean of any oil, paint, contaminants,etc. and let that dry.
And then put on 2 coats of the red paint, it's a slighter lighter red, more of the traditional red color paint of a fire truck.
Once it's completely dry I'll go over it with a metal spray clearcoat. Should look nice. Here is what one of the corners looks like now, then I'll post one when it's finished. The pics aren't the best but you get to see the faded and old looking colors and weather has done to the corners.
