I soaked the tailgate panel in molasses for over a month to eat the rust. Worked great
RenewAP, I see you painted the frame in epoxy. It seems quite a bit darker than SPI gray. I assume you mixed some white and black or gray and black to get the desired shade. I plan on doing just that for the undercarriage and engine bay on my Falcon Sprint Project. I did some spray out cards and came up with 6 Parts white and one part black. It appears the shade you have isn't too far from what I am shooting for. Curious as to what mixture ratio you used.Frame and bumpers SPI epoxy only, body was epoxied after full sandblast, then Reg. build SPI primer. Base coat is standox, cleared with Production clear.
Frame was 50 / 50 - black / white, The brackets... I just winged it, with the intention of having several different shades of parts groups. The bumpers , spare carrier, and prop rod are the only items 100% black. I used a little red oxide in most of my mixes to give them a brown shade. This truck is going to be used daily on a cattle ranch. So durability and simple were the main goals.RenewAP, I see you painted the frame in epoxy. It seems quite a bit darker than SPI gray.
