Last night, we ran new fuel lines for the fuel injection system, as the originals were dry rotted and unsafe, then started on our rust and paint repair.
We cleaned off a few spots of surface rust with a Dremel tool, then treated them.
A brush and a jar of catalyzed paint made our touch ups a little more permanent. A lot of buffing and polishing brought back some shine, too.
The trunklid had quite a bit of checking from mismatched paint types. We carefully applied paint stripper and we removed the layers of paint until we were down to the original coat (which resisted the short-term application of the chemical) and the one area of bodywork that originally led to the cruddy paintwork.
We mixed up some of the Sunset Orange in a Dupont Centari and sprayed it using a Preval disposeable airbrush.
Some wet sanding with 1200 and 1500 grit sandpaper has started the process of blending in our new sections of paint.
