And here we are after the first coat of Rust Bullet Black Shell. I didn’t bother painting the battery tray and apron because they’re so bad and will be replaced later after the clip is on the car (so I don’t mess up any factory measurements). I didn’t paint up the battery tray area since I need to replace it as well – I’ll catch it up once I replace the apron piece.
This stuff is awesome! First coat and barely used 1/8 of the gallon. According to the instructions, it’ll take two coats and be really glossy. This was after using a paint brush on it and the stuff flowed nicely leaving hardly any brush strokes showing.
The stuff covered like crazy and looks great! Thanks to my 7173 Mustang forums brother Scott for the tip about using Rust Bullet… and thanks to my pal Jim for helping me paint it up.
So, here’s the first coat pretty much done – still gotta flip the whole thing back over and do the radiator support. New plan is to catch the bad spots, and start prepping the Rustang to be (gulp!) cut apart maybe next weekend.
Also, according to the instructions – “If Rust Bullet coatings comes in contact with skin, immediately wash with soap and water for at least 5 minutes. Rust Bullet that has dried on the skin will wear off in approximately seven to ten days.”
Yeah – I’ll be wearing latex gloves from now on. LOL!
