I started working on the dump truck a couple of weeks ago. First step, get all the grossiosities off before painting.
I shoehorned it into a regular car wash, and got soaked because there was no room to get away from it.
Bonus Bay! Dump Truck included!
It has an off-road fuel tank and pump for the excavator. The pump is in a box on the right side that was totally rusted and pitted. I sanded on it, filled it with 5 coats of primer and sanded.
Those wheels looked nasty. I had white paint from the tool truck job. The box has a few coats of black, the axle faces, and the wheels are white now.
I did all that and now the dump box looks like total ass!!
I picked up paint for that, but will hold off till the smoke goes away. That is too much time out there in the smoke to sand and prep all that.
