Splash pan and POR15 front underside

May 29, 2010

I found the Bus was missing the front splash pan, and with this being the North West - I thought I'd try and keep the front as dry as possible.


I found a splash pan from 'Interstate Used Parts & Core Co'
Great service - check them out if you need parts!


I cleaned and repainted the splash pan:
(before)

(after)

Then I cleaned and POR15 the front underside (see the before and after pictures - side by side):

Wow - that took longer then I thought -but I'm happy with how it turned out.
All set for the rain!

Undercoating the Bus

March 15, 2010

My Bus has no rust and I want to keep it that way - So I spend 12 hours under the Bus cleaning to get ready to undercoat the bus.

It worked well - though its not like paint - you just spray it on and try to get a even spray - but don't spray too much in one area - as it will build up and run.  (Let the first coat dry before adding more coats)

I didn't get a picture before cleaning - but here is after cleaning:  (You can see the Bus was originally 'Red')

After undercoating:

I waited for that first layer to dry so I could apply a few more coats.

Now that was a lot of work!
