1970 FJ40... I am about to reassemble my tire carrier. There are hinges and other parts bolted to the swinging tire carrier plate. Originally they assembled first and painted later. I painted first, nib sanded, cut and polished. IT looks better than it should. I don't want to scratch off the paint and create rust spots down the road.
I was thinking of cutting black gasket material to put between the hinges, tire carrier and close lever mounting to prevent scratching up the paint.
Good idea or bad?
Thanks,
Scot
