Ok, guys, Old man, here. I did some auto painting way back when my brother and I had a shop in the '70s ~'80s. Since that time, *everything* has changed and I am at a loss about where to even start. We were doing base coat/ clear coat at the time but it was long before HVLP, Low VOC paints and of course now there's even water based (!!) auto paints.
I have a project
The Yard Dart, a Reclamation. '64 Dart GT Ragtop that I will be blasting, rotisserie, the whole bit. I'm going to do all the work myself, re-learning as I go.
The basic question is, starting with sandblasted steel what would be the *best* primer that I could spray immediately after blasting? My question is not so much concerning the majority of the primer that I will follow up with sanding and repairs, etc, its about the primer that will NOT be removed by other steps, in out of the way areas that will eventually get color applied. Is there a primer that will NOT lift because of whatever paint was applied over it? If you've ever sprayed lacquer over enamel primer, you'll know what I fear. I'm looking for 'universally compatible' primer if it exists. Also, do I need an 'etching' primer?
Thanks in advance
