[QUOTE="Hustler16, post: 410061, member: 20692"] Mine had a lot of rust and I thought it was going to be bad. but it was all surface rust. The hardest part was removing the pen striping before I hit it with the sander. I actually blew the motor on the 7" grinder while doing this. I ended up using a 4" angle grinder with 80G disk. It would have been easier had I started with the angle grinder, it was much faster. I went through 6 7" disks and another 4 of the 4". I didn't spend to much time trying to get every bit off either. If it stuck after I hit it once, I figured it wasn't going anywhere. I used acetone to clean up and went to town on the primer and did 2 coats of the topcoat. Id say as long as your fenders and mud guards are good you shouldnt have to much trouble with the paint no matter what you use. The dust wont hurt it like rocks hitting it would. [/QUOTE]
