Truck Restoration Progress
The frame is looking better. This afternoon I spent some time with the random orbital sander smoothing out last weeks bubbles. The POR-15 thinner arrived yesterday. The POR-15 turned out much smoother this time. I attribute the improvement to 1) the thinner 2) thee high density foam brush that Chad recommended, and 3) keeping less paint on the brush. I also applied some of the finishing knowlege I have learned from woodworking, ie, work away from the edges, not toward this. This minimizes drips and runs. I probably have about two more weekends worth of work to do on the frame before I move on to other parts: rear axle, leaf springs, front A-arms, and three cross members.
