I just bought a beautiful completely rust free 73 Duster that will be delivered this weekend. Bought it as a rolling chassis with no interior (perfect for me as I have a brand new interior in my rusty 76 that will be going in it and a built 69 340 and 904 ready to drop in).
First step when the new car gets here is going to be to strip and repaint the floor pan and the engine bay to get ready for the transplants from the 76 (Exterior is fine like it is).
Floor pan I figure is the best place to start as it does not really matter if I screw it up and I can practice before doing the engine bay. Both are currently blue and will be redone in satin black. Just looking for a driver quality street/Strip finish.
I have never painted anything and have absolutely no paint supplies in the shop at all.
What Paint, Primer, Stripper is most forgiving for a complete novice and appropriate for a floorpan and engine bay?
Any other must have shop supplies other than masking tape and paper?
thanks.
