Skim -

The bus looks awesome. I will second what everett said about the helpfulness of posting a quick how-you-did-it, some of us really appreciate it! In that vein - how did you use the CLR? Did you rub it in with a rag and then follow with light sand paper, or did you use your buffer?

Thanks!

Ben, CLR comes in liquid form and you mix it 'one to one' with warm water then I use a green scotch brite pad slosh it around in the CLR / water mix and scrub the rust away.

You're going to roll into Bulli Brigade in El Standito this year, right Skim?


Bro, theres no tellin at this point. Im working on the front floors right now thanks to Kelly "Metwiz" who sent me what I needed.
Im getting some exact match color coded touch up paint from towerpaint.com http://www.towerpaint.com/customcans.html ever since I saw how good they matched 55bundts polar silver just from the color code. I will patch a small hole on the rear passenger rocker then blend that spot. After that I'll call it a day.
Im waiting on my front walkthru Como Green seat covers to arrive from TMI since I couldnt find any OG front walk thru seats in the useable OG material. I guess they will be the only brand new looking things in the bus.
