WheelHorse520H 708 #12378 Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) I did some painting this morning. Had an issue with the paint previously so had to sandblast everything again and repaint. The first time I painted all of the paint flakes off during the curing process. Then yesterday I used some glass beads and brought it back down to metal and a small layer of primer. I then put more primer on as well yesterday and let it sit over night. And then this morning I put on the top coat and plan to cure the paint this afternoon. Hopefully ending with a better result.

johnnymag3 2,520 #12380 Posted July 29, 2021 I found putting it in the grill is a no-no...…. Also sometimes there is a reaction with primer type, paint type......sort of like painting latex over oil....GM can tell you all about this issue , as can other manufacturers...Remember the 80's ? Hope this time it all works out for you !!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t even know where the nearest one is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No issues on any of my machines so far. This paint scratches and smudges easily so I wanted to prevent damage, now that I think about it, I could do the clear coat and install it and let it get treated by the engine right? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He retired in 2013, but is still working and will work on SG sets. @adsm08 If it helps, my son lives a few mile North of Dover just off rt 74. If you decide to get them repaired and could deliver to Dover, I could transport from there to the repair shop in Springvale. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 8,707 #12397 Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) @squonkWhenever I go on a road trip I’m always looking/hoping to see a sign like that. I wonder how many Wheel Horses I pass that are in a garage or shed that the owner would love to talk about?! I have a Wheel Horse sign on my fence at the beginning of my driveway, but I live on a dirt road that nobody really comes down except my neighbors or someone that’s lost!!
