worked on the a/c box today.  I brushed air craft stripper on it let it set just a few minuets.  presser washed it and gave it a light spray of dark gray trim paint.
not quite dry in the pics. the shine should dull some more.








were can I get some of this stuff?  or what do you guys use?



does this look like a leak?  or mouse pee?  there was a nest of carpet and paper in it.  sys. had presser when I had it removed.

looks good what i did with mine was degreased it and then clear coated it to maintain that factory fiberglass look.

I cannot wait to see this one done.

clear coat is a good idea...does it still look good?

your choice of color looks really close so i think it will fly buddy.

here is a major close up of the finish and then a farther back shot so you can see it in full.

  when i worked at the dealership, if we saw carpet, nuts, fiberglass, etc. in an hvac system, we ALWAYS replaced the parts. those little guys love to chew on just about anything! i'd hate to see you spend the time to clean it up, reuse it then find out it has a leak on your new carpet in the interior ;)
plus..... well....... it's old. replace all the heater/ A/C components in my opinion. thats my plan anyway...
