Update..today l got this far... l've 4 days of rain coming so its onto...redoing the kitchen... ute pics below.. the base is actually black but sanding for hours turned it dusty grey...it & the tailgate have had 1 coat of rustproof primer.
Further update...Whilst taking a break from gutting the kitchen ( translation...l've found an excuse to meander into what l actually want to get on with)....a thought occured to me, l've a 35yro 2.5l tin of industrial black lead paint kicking around, l could use it to cover the primer on the outer panels after l've applied the 2nd coat of primer...it'll be shiny but l can always buff it back if its too loud...before l get the respray done at some point.
Damn... its still raining.... back to the self imposed sentence.....
