Hi all,
I am looking for some advice, this is my first project of this size. I want to start a Sankey build, I have bought a Mk 3 disc braked Sankey and the chassis is solid but is starting to show signs of surface rusting. So before starting the actual build I want to get the chassis in top condition. This has presented me with several dilemmas.
1.) How to prepare the chassis? Remove all fixtures and fittings or just mask them out.
2.) How to remove surface rust and existing paint? Sandblasting, sand paper, chemical (how to get into nooks ect?)
3.) How best to paint it? Spray, brush, celulose, hammerite and waxoyl.
4.) Should I just get someone to do it for? How much?
Any advice from those that have already taken on similar projects would be greatly appreciated.
