We applied the first coat of primer.

After preping the tub we set up the gararge for applying the primer. We’re using sandable grey primer for the first three coats and then add an additional coat of traditional red oxide color.

A little dent repair, a little Bondo, and a lot of sanding and the preprations for painting the tub is complete. Thanks to all in the Motor Pool who lent a hand!

More sanding body filler. It is taking serval application and hours of sanding to flatten the pannels.

We devised a good way to fill unwanted holes and large open areas. We spot welded a sheetmetal patch on the back and then filled it with Bondo. It’s a strong fill that will be virtually invisible.
