Here we are. I have completed the floor bed.
I purchased some spray tips that resemble the spray tube on a can of WD-40. The spray nozzles were necessary to get the paint in the space between the steel panels. They worked great. Better than great, beyond what I was hoping.
After the primer was everywhere I could possibly get it, it was time for the seam sealer. This was messy, real messy. The last tube I used dried to far into the tube and I couldn’t get the caulking gun to push it out. So I cut the tube in half and applied it by hand, kindergarten finger paint style.
I sealed the underneath too. I also found a paint I had welded in that I forgot to paint the back side of. SMH. I also found another seam on the driver’s side that was rusting. I cleaned as much rust off as I could but it was just in a bad place and was impossible to get the rust out. So I painted it with rust encapsulator. I’m hoping that stuff works as advertised. I need a few years out of this rig and I DON’T want to chase rust every year.
There are some other places underneath that will also need to get the same treatment, but those are for another day. Now we are on to planning the interior and getting some wiring run to accommodate our upgrades.
