Millions upon millions of apologies up front for such a basic question but I want to do the right thing for what's left of my cars thin metal so don't want to make a dumb mistake.
Over the last few months I've come to the conclusion that I'll only be happy if I take the car back to bare metal and go from there. This could be a long process and take the heat off Jason for his long build time so everything has an upside for someone . This will mean getting the car blasted at some time but that's a way off. I'm currently removing underseal and the process does get me down to bare metal at points despite how hard I try not to remove the base primer layer. I figured I'd apply a primer to stop flash rust but I read that a lot of primers are porous - hrrmphh. Can anyone tell me what type of primer I need to apply to bare metal that is going to sit for a year or so? I'm assuming that I don't really need a more expensive 2k epoxy primer for this and that the porosity of primers could actually give me problems after a while on good metal.
Obviously, I'll take any and all input on how to go about this so feel free to chip in with ideas and suggestions!
Thanks!
Jon.
