Ready for POR

Since the roof had been exposed for a couple of weeks, I used denatured alcohol on a rag and wiped it down. This also took off any oils that might have been accidentally placed there while I worked on it...

Frames Ready

The two seat frames (coated with a "rust converter" from Home Depot- worthless) and the front and rear subframes. The nice coat of rust on the subframes should help the POR react nicely.

Surprise!

Hmm, more chunks! This time I got some solids when I stirred the quart of POR in prep for coating the roof. I'm beginning to wonder about quality control at POR.

Look at that Roof!

I really like the look of the black roof! I was surprised that more dings and dents weren't uncovered by coating with POR, but there are just the two odd dents on each side (above the driver's seat and passenger's seat) and one little dimple on the passenger's side front corner. Looks nice, doesn't it?

Coated Frames

I used the fuzz-making roller (the yellow sponge roller proved inadequate for this job) to get most of the frames coated.

Study in Black

Here's where I went crazy with the black, and I'm glad I did! I was able to coat all of the burn-throughs, as well as provide one more layer of protection. The trick of knocking down the fuzz with the sponge brush really did wonders!

Finished Frames

I brought the frames inside so I could see better, and got every nook and cranny I could find with a cheap, 2" paint brush. Of course, once I was done, and took this picture, I found one little crevice that I'd missed. Darn!
