The Sexton was hydroblasted and brought back down to bare metal. I don't know why but it started flash rusting almost instantly. We've had vehicles that were sandblasted and washed down afterwards and never experienced flash rusting this fast.
We want back over it with an acid mix that removed the flash rusting and got the primer laid quickly.

After the primer cured for a few day the staff went ahead and sprayed several coats of olive drab.
