After tearing everything up with the multi tool I had bits of tar all over. A speck here and a speck there. I decided to grab my paint thinner and soak a rag and lay it on problem areas. After letting it sit for a while any residue was easily wiped up with an extra rag. There are a few areas where the tar is still caked on pretty good and I'll need to do some detailed scraping. After it's gone, I'll do some more wiping and hopefully I'll be ready to sand it down and then paint it with Master Series Silver. That will be top coated with gloss black Rustoleum Rust Coat.

Chipped up some flooring today. From what I can tell, there's not a lot of rust. I'm not going to go CRAZY here, but I do want to remove as much as possible. I used a multitool set to high RPM to zip it off. Then I wiped it down with paint thinner. I have some spots to address still. It took me about an hour to do this. I need to do the other side and the back seat. I will be painting the floor with Master Series Silver and then top coating with Rustoleum Rust Coat. A fun garage tip: If you blast 80s techno-pop while you work on your 80s car, you'll feel like your are in an 80s movie montage. Unfortunately, this practice does not make time go by faster, but it makes it FEEL like it's going faster. In a typical 80s film, a job like this would take approximately thirty seconds with a little Tears for Fears background musice. |
