Out in the sun and now the jellybeans look wrong
Some good centres, chrome nuts and a quick clean and they will really suit the car The nuts and centres will match the rest of the chrome on the vehicle.

Stripping the paint back by hand is a very tedious and time consuming job but 2 panels down 6 to go !!!!

Hi Gazza,
I actually used a wood chisel and scratched the old paint off, it was the original and tends to chip away to the red primer. I then finished it off with a disc abrasive pad attached to a buff that strips the paint down and the surface rust as well. It took me 3 days to get it like that !!
The problem with being hot is you sweat and drip all over the steel, the next day it is rusty again so its hard work.
Regards Greg

One of the painters at work informed me that it’s also good to ware painters gloves when sanding as the moisture from your hands will cause rust and other imperfections
Keep them pics coming gets me motivated to finish the ute
