How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

Left the housing sitting in a bucket of degreaser solution for a few hours. Took it out and scrubbed it down then hosed it it off with a hot water hose. I then used a wire wheel to clean it up and remove the surface rust. I still had to go back with some small scrapers and aresol parts cleaner to get a few hard spot. Man that 75 years of grease really gets hard. Some spots were like chipping cement. Lastly brought it inside and washed it down with the marine clean from POR and then some metal prep to get rid of any final rust.

Now the hard part what colour to paint it? From what I have read here on the forum they may have come Chevy grey, semi gloss black or even have been painted the final body colour of LG#3, SCC2 or SCC15
