Dad’s 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340
Deck lid is up next. On both the hood and deck lid, we stripped the outside because there were three layers of paint and that awful orange that wouldn’t have been a good base for new paint. On the underside though we wet sanded with 80 grit and shot it without a complete strip as there was only the original copper paint (scuff and shoot). I did clean the seams to bare metal as there was some surface rust. Once the epoxy is done, those will get seam sealer.
