Tubbing the Valiant

I decided to take a break from the rear of the car and do something different up front. So I decided the front frame rails and shock supports need cleaning up and paint. The old under coating came off with the torch, scraper & wire brush, tried and true method. After it was clean and the metal repairs were complete I put two coats of CRC’s rust converter (marine grade) then two very light coats of Plasti Coat self etching gray primer. Then two light coats of FJ-6 Sassy Grass Green. All from rattle cans. No kidding. My local out parts store can computer color match and paint than put it in spray cans. It ain’t cheap but, it is very handy. Actual in the big picture is more economical than to conventional method with a paint spray gun. 6 cans were $120.00ish and will do the entire frame of the car. The first can is $30.00 because of the time it takes to clean the machine and each can after that is $15.00. If I have to weld in a bracket or something it makes it easy to touch up. FYI
