    New Panel Coatings

    I had a small area of top coat which lifted on the tailgate when I pulled tape. I scuffed it then epoxy primer before top coat. I’m not a good example since I have been working in mostly outside uncontrolled conditions. I scuffed the floor panels and brushed enamel which didn’t lift when I had...

    Paint Schemes

    Repaint the stripe a color more contrasting will be easiest. I vote for a darker blue.

    Defrost duct

    Mine looks similar, I am considering adding some plastic attached with rivets and the silver duct tape. Might work on that tomorrow and if I do I will post a few pics.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Replacing headliner material which I purchased new on eBay which received with wrinkles. I tried hot iron over a towel, and also a steamer, both methods didn’t work. Last resort, laying it out on the patio under a glass sheet on a 90 + degree sunny day, which I am not very confident this will...

    Adjusting the doors with genuine GM NOS door weather strip rubbers which are from the 80s hanging out in a box from the shed. It’s still a 20 footer.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I did it myself after a ridiculous amount of prep time since it had 7 layers of coatings which were lifting. After sanding, I sprayed epoxy primer then Herculiner, which is a two part mix. You will need a respirator if you’re going to do it yourself since it uses an isocynate hardener.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Installed the tailgate finally after plastidip the hinges to reduce the slop and rattles. Probably took 50 dips. The over sprayed rubber hardware cleaned up well with citristrip. I still have to griswold the tailgate trim band before installing. I also will need some white touch up before I...

    Should be four screws on the backside securing it, carefully remove screws so it comes off, you may need an impact screw driver if too tight.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Fitted the front fender wells, attached the cowl cover, and hood hinges; ran the front light wiring, and installed the charcoal canister. I will install the new front shocks and get the heater/ac box buttoned up before tightening the passenger fender well. Also fitted the rear step bumper so I...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    SMH Of course. I'm going to give it some baking soda paste then a brass brush treatment to clean as best as possible. Rinse and blow out with compressor. Cross digits and hope it's better than mechanic in a can. Not wanting to wrassle pulling connectors for replacement, but it may come to that...

    New paint gun

    I’ve been successfully shooting rustoleum black on some of my square parts. I mixed an 8:1:10% reducer mixture and also a reduced 20% acetone mixture, no hardener. Each mixture sprayed easily with great results. The 1 was an isocyonate hardener product (wet look) which I purchased and had...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thought about spraying it but too much work for an area mostly hidden, plus if I can avoid the toxic paint I will every time. After this one dries I will brush on the second coat.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Brushed some safety orange paint on the cowl drain seal which I resealed a few days ago. A little more prep and paint in that area and I can start the reassembly head scratching.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Impatient as usual, so I went for it since I really want to get this back together because I have parts spilled all around my property. I still need to paint a little under the hood so I am leaving the paper until that’s completed. I had this paint leftover from the z28 project 30 years ago...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Sprayed orange this morning before all the bugs woke up and the wind kicks up. The stripes are a little cobbly because I didn’t pull the tape soon after painting the white so I had to score it. I didn’t make that mistake 2x. Hopefully I can spray blue tomorrow.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Found some limited time to tape the white in preparation for the colored hood stripes. Gonna paint orange first, hopefully next few days. It’s been a bit breezy and buggy for painting so I am keeping busy with landscaping, skiing, fishing and off-road racing.
