Still painting parts

February 7th, 2010 Bodywork, Front suspension, Parts

Okay, the restoration is back on track after a two month break doing absolutely nothing. The primed front suspension parts have been moved to my basement and is currently receiving a couple of layers of shiny, black top coat. The basement temperature is a nice 8° C, compared to the garage temperature which closely follows whatever is outside. The low temperature makes for a very long curing/drying time; instead of the usual 24 hrs to dry at so-called “room temterature”, it takes at least three days.

I’ll have to scrape off superfluous paint on the washer and bolt surfaces once everything is done, but that’s just in the spirit of the it’s done-when-it’s-done restoration. Yes, I have a picture of drying suspension parts, but I think you’ve seen enough of them already ;)
