Chris,
I for one would sand the old, flaking paint off with 180 paper--- Why take the time to sand? Because it will give the new finish "biter's" for it to hang on to the table mount----it won't be as lilely to be flaking off in the future--- Blow a light coat of spray can primer on the metal, scuff it down, and paint---- Did you make the step out of wood, or weld one together? I like the concept--- I think I'm going to weld one of these together this coming week--- Tubing, and 1/2 plate------covered in carpeting --bullet proof !!!---:>) Later, Terry

Folks, Made an upper bunk step like Roy did, here: http://www.autobahn.mb.ca/~rrh/Westy%20Mods.htm Some of the paint has flaked off my front table mount, and I'd like to re-paint the whole thing. Anyone know the best way to get the rest of the existing paint off? Steel wool? Wire brush? Thanks in advance, Chris '87 Westy Tiico ______________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. |
