FHC resto nr. 99; Small steps at a time

In my previous post I selected a few parts for future blasting and painting. As a result of which I booked some time at a friend’s workshop and his blasting cabinet this Saturday. But I had a bit of a false start here, caused by moisture absorbing pellets that had found their way in the blasting media (glass beads). And they were too large to pass through the nozzle, causing frequent blockages. But after cleaning the blasting nozzle and sifting the blasting beads, the cabinet was back in full working order. And half an hour later the parts (engine mounts and front suspension top mounts) were cleaned of any rust.

Next the parts were cleaned and de-greased,
after which they first got a base coat of a grey primer.

This was followed by a few layers of satin black top coat after the base coat had dried enough. A few hours well spent!
