Hiya all,
I have a couple of questions about primer and filler. I am almost done stripping my 63 (I used chem stripper to get through the current paint job and some of the original, a wire wheel to get through the remaining paint and now a d/a sander to get the last bit) All I have left to do is the front pass fender and the hood. When I am done with that what is the next step? Do I put on a coat of self etching primer, an epoxy primer or do I use the body filler and then one of the above primers?
My plan is to get the body work done this spring and put it back together so I can drive it this summer then the "real" paint job next spring. So I will need a primer that will hold up for a season.
I had planned on this taking longer so I thought I had more time to do some research, but my wife went out of town for work this week and I suddenly have lots of free time for once and took advantage of it. I did tear down on Sunday (removed all trim, glass, interior, motor and trans. I had thought I would be able to do maybe a panel a week but since she is gone I did half the car and the roof in one night, the trunk and most of the other side last night.
Thanks in advance for any insight,
Jeff
