So I got primer on the frame and steering box. So far, so good. The aluminum foil trick works AWESOME! So easy to cover large surfaces quickly. Thanks for that great tip!
I didn't bother to mask off the metal lines. I will either replace them, wire brush the paint off with my dremel or paint them silver. I got engine paint on them anyway. I'm probably going to have to replace the metal brake line anyway because I saw a couple of patches of rust on it and it is so small, I think it could be compromised quickly. Will replace the rubber hose too.
My shocks and wheel cylinders should be delivered tomorrow. I decided to just buy new wheel cylinders because they are so cheap to replace.
I realized that I didn't put phosphoric acid on the lower part of the big frame member (where the lower suspension arm bolts too) so I gave it a wire brushing (found one for my drill) and coated it. I'll put primer on it tomorrow if it is not too cold.
I got two coats of primer on everything. Of course, an hour later it started to drizzle! Hopefully it was dry enough where no damage occurred. I'll find out tomorrow.
