Yes :handgestures-thumbup:

But what gave you the idea to do what you are doing with the 5, something must of lit the light bulb over your head?

I had read some of it, but i only go on the OC forum now looking for owners with problems, i can not be doing with the politics, for a club that should be based around owners/members, and the best they should be doing for them.

But i think they are making a bad move with some things, just my opinion. :text-offtopic:

Any way back on topic....... :text-worthless:

I cleaned it all off with a drill type wire brush then converter, primer & underseal.
The thing is after putting the converter on i find some areas i have to go over again with a scraper or wire brush as it comes away easier after doing that & then give them areas another coating.

you undersealed on primer... I went for POR15 prep then straight black. I'm guessing you aired your underseal on? I'm debating what final coat to use - it needs to be light; schutz maybe...?

Hi Ben,

Good job you've done there and outside too :handgestures-thumbup:
I'm stripping my brakes next week and painting them yellow too. What paint did you use? I'm using spray hammerite following peoples advice on the MEV Forum.
Hope to get a couple of weeks on the MEV starting this weekend.
