painted my column

Painted my column today. I couldn't find saddle paint, but was able to have to paint matched to the steering wheel. I also finished converting a truck door to a blazer door, finished patching both inner fenders and the passenger side fender patched.

It's called golf because all the other four letter words were taken.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

That was a door off of the parts truck I bought this summer. The primer was a just a first coat to use as a guide to check if my patches were high or low. The hinges on my blazer door were ripping out. It was just easier to make a door since I had one to use. The conversion was pretty simple since I had a "go by". All I used was an angle die grinder with a metal cut off wheel.

Sanded all the metal parts to bare metal, primed, and used Dupont acrylic enamel. The two plastic pieces I just roughed up with some 320 grit, primed, and sprayed with the acrylic enamel. The shifter piece is 'pot' metal so I used rattle can filler primer and spot-n-glaze putty to smooth it up.

I just converted a truck door to a blazer door too not 4 days ago,,,, all I used was a angle grinder. did you transfer over the rubber window slider with block off. the trucks didn't have those or the top plastic piece that you have to drill 2 holes for and shave a side at an angle to get it to fit... rock on.
