Re: Stripping Body Panels to Bare Metal
I just finished stripping the two doors and fenders. Mine were "patina" down to the primer.
Typically I would of used aircraft stripper but I just used 80 grit on DA sander and it went well. Then used a die grinder with the 3M pads for the small contoured areas the DA couldn't reach.
I will sand blast the braces and such to clean them up completely.
I was concerned that with the amount of weathering the new paint would adhere properly to the old paint/primer.
I will most likely use aircraft stripper on the hood and parts of the cab.
