The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Re: What did you get done on your 'Bolt today?

I decided to tackle some “bodywork”. All i really did was reverse what someone else already did 30yrs ago. When they started to “restore” the truck they stripped the paint from the grille surround and drivers fender and left then bare steel just to sit and get pitted and rust up. They did at least put some primer on the doors and they are luckily 100% rust free. The patina on the rest of the truck is perfect for me for the time being until I actually am ready to hammer out the body and paint work. So I basically just blended in the previously touched parts. I wire wheeled all the bare steel and shot it with black primer then i had a rattle can made up of the correct factory Ferrara Blue color and i dusted it on light and then when back and rubbed through it to match the rest of the trucks fade. It honestly came out way better than i hoped for and it dosent look like i “fixed” anything. Used a little red oxide primer on the fender edges to rub through and really make it believable haha.
