Actually you have to sand it 36 billion times, but only if you want it "showroom".
Each coat is 4.876 neothonimeters thick and adds 125 seconds worth of fade resistance.
I worked with a young kid a long time ago. He bought a state police cruiser pretty cheap at the auction but had to agree to paint it before he could register it. With no experience at all he spray painted it with semi gloss Rustoleum black. It came out really good. He did sand the whole car just a little then buffed it after.

That's what I'd do. Just take an air sander to get it down to bare metal on the rusty spots, but just scuff up the paint everywhere else. As long as it feels smooth under my fingertips that's good enough.
I am no good at spray painting. I can't help myself, I get too impatient and want full coverage with the first coat and I red up with runs.
I'll use a roller and brushes.
Right now I'm about to redo the tail light and trailer wiring. It can't get any easier than this.. Seriously.. If I wanted to I could put this thing up on saw horses and sit in a chair..
The cross members were the only rusty spots on the underside of the bed so I just sanded it & sprayed undercoating on them.

LMAO. Why do people put vertical stacks on pickups? Unless it's a farmer's 1 ton dually diesel being used to pull horse trailers and he doesn't want them breathing his exhaust, it's just pure idiocy.
But I like the green in the back.
I should paint mine John Deere Green with yellow wheels and put a sticker on it that says "she thinks my
And this logo:
Nah f* the yellow. Just the green.
Wish I'd seen this when I was home. Mechanic man could'a told you exactly what all that is.I'm not going to be able to put the bed back on without someone other than the Geezer to help.
It ain't that heavy but he was whining the whole time about not being able to lift it high enough to clear the tire. It's about as heavy as a fiberglass cap for a full size pickup. Maybe a little lighter.

Looks like damn mice chewed through the fuel lines. And the vent tube is a total mystery.

It's a mystery because there's a mystery tube chewed off, and the end of the tube on that white plastic thingy on the tank, but they're not the same size.

Since you have access, might as well replace your fuel pump/in-tank filter assembly. It really sucks to have to do that when you have to pull the tank down from underneath. Looks about like the tank on the '92 Taurus my late husband had. Yeh, filled the tank and the fuel pump chose right then to take a crap. Mechanic had to drop the gas tank when it was full.

I'll never drop that gas tank again. I had to do it twice. The 2nd time it was full. Major pain in the ass. I'll take the bed off again if I have to.
3 screws that hold the gas filler neck in, 6 bolts that won't be rusted because I'll use antiseize, and one wiring connector.
I just saw my neighbor at the gas station a few minutes ago. He said mice chew on his vehicles too. And he's got like 10 stray cats in his garage and his elderly mother insists on feeding all the strays too. No idea how much can survive over there with so many cats.

The Geezer is in Kentucky celebrating his third midlife crisis..
Before he even bought it I thought about making fun of the bright yellow,... then realized that half the people on the road are blind, dumb, and busy updating their Twitter feeds so the bright color might be safer.
I forgot what year it is but it's an 1800, low miles, came with the little trailer all for 8 grand. Craigslist.
He's been complaining for years that the other Goldwing is too heavy and he can't get it on the center stand or pick it up after he drops it.
I've lost track of how many times I've had to go out there just to stand it up after he wiped out on the wet grass in the yard. (Because I can't count past two.)

Trailer has a beer cooler on the front but he'll probably just use it for bottled water and salad.
