brush guard resto.

[jamr1]

I pulled off my brush guard and tail light guards tonight to sand down and repaint. Any suggestions on the type of paint to use or any helpful hints??

i am currently restoring a 71mustang, all the parts i glass blast i repaint with this black paint.... the paint code is 7777, make sure thats what is is by looking on the bottom of the can

here is a picture of my engine bay where i have done most of the black painting, the only pices that i have done in this pic are the fan shroud, radiator support and the windsheild washer tank lid

i would look into powder coat, or a bed liner type material if it were me, spray paint isn't as durable as those options.

i would laso agree to powder coat, but for pices that big, it might cost around 100 bucks

you could use a 2 stage paint. by that i mean base and clear it shouldent cost to much considering you doing the prep work

I would recommend using truck bed spray on bedliner for the material. Its tough, rough and doesnt scratch or chip easy. Paint just doesnt work as good when you deal with gravel from freeways or off roading. Plus, the spray on bedliner resists rust very good if you live in salty areas.
