Just received a quote from Hotbox Powder Coating for the 40's wheels: $110 per wheel. Ouch.

He didn't say it didn't, so I assumed it was drop off the wheels, wait two days, pay $110/ea and take them homeI paid $150.00 per wheel blasted and PC Just the powder was $300.00
I think a black set I had done was $125 per if memory serves
price include media blast?
Sandblast them in the back yard and rattle can them Massey Ferguson gray. Cost for four bags of sand, 5 cans of primer and 10 cans of paint < $150 total. Let me know if you need a blaster. I have one you can use, assuming you have air. If paint was good enough for Mr. T, it's good enough for me. In addition, paint can be touched up easily if you ever get a rock scrape or curb rash. Not that easy with powder.Just received a quote from Hotbox Powder Coating for the 40's wheels: $110 per wheel. Ouch.
I have a small cabinet (which won't work, becasue it's too small) and a gravity feed separate sandblast unit that I bought for the 80's frames. I may use that. If if doesn't impress me, I may spring for the wet system; I really like that idea, because it doesn't scatter sand all over the place.Sandblast them in the back yard and rattle can them Massey Ferguson gray.

Any plans with the old bed pieces that came off?Get the rest of the bed off today. Going to pull the busted up half doors and make new ones. Also going to spend about an hour on each B pillar with the dent puller and straight then out. Not make them perfect, just better than they currently are.
Also going to either pull the front fenders or just cut them more to keep the 40” tires out of them.
I’m also going to cut those two diagonal bars. They kind of limit the full use of the whole bed. Might try to Incorporate them somewhere else but I’m not worried if they don’t make the cut.
More progress next week.

You're my heroGot all the inside metal all sanded out and primed with epoxy primer. All metal is now primed out with 3 coats of epoxy primer.
It never ceases to amaze me how much total work is involved in prepping out a vehicle for paint.
Every square inch gets sanded out lightly at 320 and then gets shot with 3 coats of build primer. You guessed it, it then gets sanded out AGAIN and AGAIN!!
