Just Kidding.
I'm cleaning out the engine bay, pretty much sanding down all the glue, removing all the dirt and wire brushing out the rust (just surface, no deep rust). The side and rear panels don't need much in the way of repair, so, can I just lightly sand them and tack cloth it to prepare it to recieve paint? I have a self etching primer for the firewall that's going on nice and smooth. My color is Palma Green Metallic. I'm not sure if metallics are meant to be color sanded much, if at all. I guess that question is more for the exterior, the bay I'm using a single stage paint, so as long as it doesnt run I probably won't worry about the sanding. |

You're getting some good advice, IMHO.
That respirator unit is a good one. It will keep you safe from breathing isocyanates. When not in use, keep the cartridges sealed in a zip-lock to extend the life of the charcoal. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
