Paint Stripper. Get a couple cans of air craft stripper, spray it down then pressure wash it. Prep will be your best friend.

Sounds like a tight combo. why not document it over in the projects section?

for mine, i sanded down every rust spot and made the whole thing smooth to the touch.. maybe a bit overboard, it took me forever, but it came out very nice

Thats not going overboard. Would you rather do it once and get it done and over with, or take your blaster apart numerous times, and keep having to do it. I like the saying "If your going to do something, do it right the first time"

thats a bitching paint job but i think if you did the head of the engine that red it would look even betterI:II:I

now some people on here are gonna give me sh*t for this, but im a big Jordan fan, and a sneaker addict. also a big fan of sportbike racing and michael jordan owns and runs a AMA team. so its that sort of theme but with a old school jordan twist. im gonna put this on each side of the tank. i think it will look cool, definately not been done in the forum lol.

 

[calcium12]

[97BoredOutBlasta]
