Resurrected Junk
Thanks Frogpirate. Yeah, MAACO. When I looked at stuff sitting in the shop and getting the low down on which service was rendered, I figured the key to a good paint job was surface preparation. Was also looking to see how good/bad their painters were with a gun. (No real problems with runs and orange peel.) This I did on my own, and missed a few spots, too. I didn't use any body filler, but did use lead to fill the seams.
Where I sanded down to bare metal, I used a light coat of a non-self-etching primer. What I do know about paint is that it can be particular to what it is sprayed over. The primer I used was easily removed yet prevented rust while I continued in other areas.
