Tonight I spent a couple of hours removing paint from the rear tire cover (which is a bit bent and dented from years of work) and the area on the right left around the rear wheel well area. I wasn't in the mood to do patch panel work so taking my 3M disk and removing some paint that was left over from the chemical strip was a good way to spend the evening. Somewhat menial work but necessary and in many ways satisfying as the layers of paint appear and disappear down to bare metal. The car certainly couldn't take another layer of paint so it is "necessary" work from a project completion perspective.
The paint removal was not without it's challenges: I had to remove 4 of the hold down attachment points for the flap on the side curtains so I could remove the paint which were fairly well stuck and hard to get at the nuts but with patience and perseverance I triumphed (no pun intended). I also went through one of my big plastic parts tubs sorting out what parts I have accumulated and what parts the previous owner had taken care of.... More work to be done there.....
so 3 hours spent today....2 body work and 1 sorting....a good productive day...
