Rusty by name, Rusty by nature...

It's looking really neat Dave and at least you can see what you've got to deal with.

Come on Dave
Almost 6 months since a update bud
How progress ?

So finally a little progress, yes I know it won’t restore itself and yes I have to get on with it etc…
Anyway Matt popped in last week to pick something up and after a bit of a chat I got a little inspired to clean of some of the shit paint just to see how hard it will be and what the paint is like underneath.
Have already lost count of the number of cans I’ve used, but spent a couple of evenings out in the shed.
Results below

So over a few night I got some more done.
Happy with the results and have learnt a few lessons
I definitely have more respect for people that have done this job! It is rewarding tho

Oh hell yes! This is looking killer mate

I’ve been waiting for these pics to surface, amazing how good that paint is. The shit paint job might have been the best thing for this bus.

Love the PG/SG. Love the patina

Dave - that is SWEEEEET! Spent countless hours doing that on Iron Horse.

And if you did that in the shed you should be high as a kite...

Dave, looks amazing! What did you use?

It definitely isn’t perfect, lets just say it has lots of patina!
I’m using oven cleaner, spay cans. Fortunately its well ventilated as it isn’t something you want to be breathing in.
Spray it on and leave for a while. Some paint then just wipes off but some needs to be scrubbed to loosen it.
It doesn’t lift the og paint but does take the red oxide primer off so have to be careful

Can’t wait to see this thing buffed.

I’ll be happy when the shit green is gone

Seeing those pics really did just make my weekend
That is so awesome
Now I really do need to pop over next time I’m on the school run
Keep going and more pics

Every little bit counts, but hot damn this thing is going to be so bloody sweet. Paint looks soooo good man. Can imagine your grin doing it
