I have been doing wire brush or sanding, and then solvent cleaning.

after the solvent clean, i baked the part to get rid of any possible out gassing, let it cool til I could touch it, then move it to the spray rack while warm

I can paint, and do pretty well if I don't say so myself, this is just a way different medium, but I am liking it!



I hope to get one of those pressure vessel blasters, but will limit myself to nice weather work, as I can't do that in the shed

I need to fix up that tank dent, and get some painting done

Riley (my 9 year old son) wanted to get a pic of me on my bike, so here it is!

this thing feels so small!!!
