My 85' SR5

Cleaned up the wagon last night so I thought I would take some pics and share. This is a great car I really like it, trying to preserve it for as long as possible. Enjoy!

wow, looks like it's in excellent shape. i really like the look of the blacked out sr5 rub strips. did you tape off the lower portion and front of the hood and spray paint those areas? what about the hatch, did you do it in place or remove it to paint it?

The Blacked out areas are the areas where I had some rust issues, so I sanded & treated the affected rust areas, taped off and shot multiple coats of Plasidip out of the can. The finish turned out very nice, it seems to be very durable and it peels off if you make a mistake or need to replace it. I am very happy with the way it turned out. Everything was sprayed in place.
