Re-finished my brush bars
The previous owner of this disco needs to be shot, figured I'd pull the brush bar since it was looking really beat up, come to find out the thing is almost 100% rusted, looks like they just tried to spray paint over the troubled areas at the used car lot.
Whar I ended up doing was stripping all the paint off it, sanding it as smooth as possible with an angle grinder, filling some of the real bad rust areas with the welder, sanding more, shot a coat of rust primper on there, then used bed coating, 3 coats, sanded it smooth again, then shot another coat, looks new pretty much

You can upload them to this site apparently, or you can do it like I did it, and host your own pics, then just link them to the site... once you've uploaded them somewhere, I use my aol account, you get the link to the location of the pic and type out
[IMG] the link here [/IMG] then the image pops up.

The reason I noticed your post today, was I just spent most off the day sanding and repainting both bumpers and my sliders, small world.
