Tale of a Z
#4

What a pain in the neck. Three more hours this evening of scraping... the paint remover got the layer of green off, but really did nothing for the orange, and so I scrape.. I've gotten to seriously thinking of breaking out the drill and removing the sockets and soldering strips. I've got blind rivets to put them back in with, so at least that is no big deal.

   

As you can see, I'm down to about 1/3 of the chassis left to clean, then I have to deal with masking and priming before applying the paint. Unfortunately, I do not have access to Home Despot here, so I must go with what I can get at the PX.

BTW, at least the green looked better than the orange. Why do people do this?
