My bed parts were chemically stripped bare. What are some ways to apply paint to "hidden" areas such as the inside of the rolled area on the top of the bedsides. Since they cannot be seen I considered some kind of a swab/mop drawn through from one end to the other. Any suggestions? Bruce :confused:

Are you going to be able to place caps on them? If not you can try this, since you cannot see inside the part, you can just leave them primed with a good primer.
Get yourself an old fashioned glass cleaner the man made sponge type, tie a sturdy sting aroung the middle or tie it to the hole on the end of the handle. Place the side rail on a angle so as to lean away from the rest of the parts, dip the GC in the primer or paint and pull it through the part you should start from bottom to top so you can control the speed, once dry do it again just to be sure. Does this make any since to you? | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 | Modelman, Same idea I was explaining, by glass cleaner I take it you are talking drinking glass right? Kind of a cylinder shaped sponge with a plastic handle? I was thinkingalong the lines of a mop type tool with cotton string or such. Used to see bowl (toilet  )cleaners like this but the sponge sounds good. Nope, no caps as that won't stop the rust. Thanks, Bruce
