Paint the Car

Working on the car. Got it started this morning, after several days of trouble.

It is an older Town and Country, and if you look a number of these over you see they almost all have rust in the exact same spots, over the rear fenders and at the lower edge of the hatch.

I did some Bondo repairs last summer, and repainted the car. I wasn't happy with the result, and get a little rust-through returning.

So I have been sanding down the bad areas, grinding out all the rust I can get at and spraying a phosphate rust inhibitor on everything that I can't get at to remove. Hope it holds for another year.

So the prelims are done, now to paint the car. The hardest part is actually the taping, masking everything you don't want paint on. The paint spray mists, and travels a long way, so if you are spraying the rear hatch, you have to cover all of the windows or get a nice, fine coating on them.

This year the car will be gold, a fairly bright one.
