I know where your coming from regarding the paint. I just find it interesting though, how few actually got painted correctly. Its not surprising considering we used to make our own Tac Sign and C/S Stencils right in our lines. It was often done as part of "Extra Duties"
I'm still exploring the options for stripping the body. I have battled rust on every Jeep i've ever owned. I really want to make sure that there is no trace left on the Tub prior to paint, and also identify any "hidden" repairs that may need to be done to the skin. Aside from Sandblasting, I can't think of any other economic way. I used Wire Wheels with a 5" Grinder on my last project, and it was extremely time consuming and dirty. The thought of dropping it off to a pro who is setup for it, is kind of appealing. I'm trying to find a local shop who does the odd classic car and understands the end state for the Body. I will try and expose some markings in the key areas, prior to blasting it mind you.
Any of the cold working Dolly and Hammer repairs I can do to the body would be prior to Sandblasting eg, pounding out small dents and minor straightening. Anything requiring heat, cutting and welding would be done at the shop right after Sandblasting. That would be followed by Red Oxide Priming and an OD Base Coat.
Whats the opinion on Crown Spraying? That was my plan for protecting it in the hard to reach areas after the Ziebart is blown away.
As for a CFR, hopefully I can find something somewhere on either of the 2, and i'll go from there. I don't want to end up duplicating someone thats all.
