Yeah, I am in damage control as pictures above show me already pulling the bad paint off. I need to take it off to make for a smooth surface for the plasti dip to bond too. I really want that to look decent while I work on the rest of the car. I am ending up with small 1 in bare metal spots thru out the car. My thought is the car will be in plasti dip for 2 yrs while I work on other aspects of the car to get it running as well as get some floor work done by a shop.

I have a nice paint gun, that just seems like way more effort for my needs unless I just want to start the body work now and spray primer/sealer as I move thru the car. My thought up till now has been to get it sealed in plasti dip then continue working on the road worthy parts of the car.

My thinking is, in order to make the plasti dip really look good, you’re going to want to get the panels smooth. And in order to do that, I’d strip a section at a time down to bare metal as much as possible, spray it in epoxy to seal it and give you a base, then do your filler work over that. Once your filler work is done and the car is smooth like you want it, plasti dip it. Otherwise, I’d just leave the paint that’s on there as is until you’re ready to dig into it.
