Boot Painting March 08

I had now stripped my little English lump on the inside from
the front valence to the rear valence. It was time to refinish.
I used a rust killer, primer, seam sealer and enamel top
coat. All of these were brushed on except in the engine
compartment, more on that later...

The boot area after a coat of rust killer. The rust killer, as I

understand it, encapsulates any remaining rust and seals

the surface with a tough coat.

 

Same area after the first coat of primer. Using a primer
over the rust killer may be a little over kill-ish but why
not?

The right side marker lamp pocket area after first coat of

primer.

The other side.

An overall view, priming now complete.

Seam sealer in a can was used through out the boot area.

Another shot of the seam sealing process.

The side marker pocket seam sealing. Note the area

bottom right, there is a rather large gap between the boot

floor and the rear body panel. It gradually increases up

to almost 1/2 inch, and had to be filled in was lots of

seam sealer.

An over all shot after the first coat of semi gloss black

enamel.
