[FC] Rampside Bed repainting

[corvanatics@corvair.org]

I believe the bed and inside of the ramp were all a medium gray from the
factory.  I have a 63 Rampside that has a lot of its original paint, and its
bed and ramp are gray.

> My  '62 Rampside was bought with a gray primed bed. It now has some
surface rust. I'd like to resore it this summer. What would be the best way
to go about this? Should I go to bare metal with sandpaper and the 3M black
wheel or is paint remover best? To prevent future rusting would the Rust
Encapsulator be a good choice for the bare metal or is Rustoleum just as
good? As for the color coat would that be the same as the body or the
stripe? I've seen some ramp doors painted black. Is that original? Any ideas
about Herculiner or Linex?

one?
