I had a pretty productive Fourth Of July weekend.  On Saturday and Sunday I put on 2 coats of the MasterSeries MasterSilver Permanent Rust Sealer/Surfacer.  This stuff is GREAT.  It went on easily and really sealed everything up tight. 🙂

Tomorrow I’ll put on the MasterSeries AG111 final top coat.  Here are some pictures from yesterday and today:

I decided to clean under the front spare tire and gas tank area.  It wasn’t as filthy as the rear luggage shelf area, but it certainly needed to be done.  You’ll see there was a good amount of surface rust too.  Here are some pics from the process:

Here are the “Before” images…

Here are the “After” pictures (much better)…

Wow, it’s starting to look great.  Today I started with a steel wheel brush on my electric drill to start removing the surface rust that was present.  Once I was done with that, I used MasterCoat Metal Prep to remove the remaining surface rust.  You’ll definitely want to wear rubber gloves, eye protection, and a safety odor mask for this job.  Here are some pics:
