Well over the weekend I started the process of prepping the front frame clip and suspension for paint. Attached is the picture of the car after the first coat. There are still a few thin spots inside the frame and the suspension coils. But I will get those on the 2nd coat pass. I must tell you it was a pain in the royal butt to get everything masked.
After the paint is all dry, then I will pull all the suspension grease fittings, degrease, media blast, and rinse, and then let soak in parts cleaner to bring them back to working order. Some of them have petrified grease in them, so I found this is the best way to get the spring loaded check in them back in working order. So when done all the fittings should be nice and shiney, and visible against the black frame.
