Making the cage pretty…
Started the day nasty and rusty like this…
After first wipe-down with Super Clean, it was a bit better…
Then scrubbed with Super Clean and a red ScotchBrite… got more stuff off…
Sanded with 220 grit and wiped down with naphtha. Finally fairly clean…
Then two cans of VHT self-etching primer…
Scuff with red ScotchBrite, and two cans of high-build primer…
Much better. Done for today. Tomorrow, will do base and clear coats.
