Bought a rusty old rack, shortened and widened it to fit my old Toyota so I can carry some old used necky kayaks. Projects are fun.

Nice job, looks good from here. The rack on my truck is aluminum, which someone painted black, and then someone else painted silver to look like aluminum again, and I would be tempted to paint it black once more, but I'm truly too lazy.
There's something pleasing about grinding down to metal for a weld or a ground and exposing numerous layers of drastically differently colored paint
Same thing in old houses, I dunno what's harder on the lungs though lol
we're all getting cancer, thanks paint!
