Subject:Re: Re-painting front table mount

Chris,

I for one would sand the old, flaking paint off with 180 paper---

Why take the time to sand?

Because it will give the new finish "biter's" for it to hang on to the
table mount----it won't be as lilely to be flaking off in the future---

Blow a light coat of spray can primer on the metal, scuff it down, and
paint----

Did you make the step out of wood, or weld one together?

I like the concept---

I think I'm going to weld one of these   together this coming week---

Tubing, and 1/2 plate------covered in carpeting --bullet proof !!!---:>)

Later,

Terry

Folks,
Made an upper bunk step like Roy did, here:

Some of the paint has flaked off my front table mount, and I'd like to
re-paint the whole thing.
Anyone know the best way to get the rest of the existing paint off?
Steel wool? Wire brush?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
