[QUOTE="typed by ben, post: 366816, member: 11717"] bittersweet moment today- tuffcoat is applied! now im almost ready to take it out and prove (or disprove?!) my work.[ATTACH type="full" alt="20140922_160719.jpg"]68204._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20140922_160404.jpg"]68205._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20140922_160224.jpg"]68206._xfImport[/ATTACH] really like the color and finish. may take a while for all the not-totally-cured rubber crumb to work itself loose. couple notes about prep. 1. used etch primer on bare AND sanded/painted aluminum. followed the usual rules there. nothing special about what i used, just rattle can etch primer. 2. no sanding after that, just mineral spirits on lint free rags to get up all the overspray dust. then i got ready to shoot the tuffcoat. i again hit the primed surfaces with mineral spirits to get up dust, then masked off with blue tape and .31 mil painters film. after that i wiped all the soon to be coated surfaces with a tack cloth.
