Oh no ! Thanks for the tip Wood. Hopefully i won't have to work much this week and get it painted. Not likely though, the A/C business is booming during the summer.

Re: {1965 Jupiter Restoration}

would it be okay to shoot the clean metal primer over the etching primer,? i have some uneven areas of old paint. the etching primer is not thick enough. if so would i have to add hardener to the clean metal primer. Thanks.

Re: {1965 Jupiter Restoration}

Absolutely. The etching primer is supposed to be light. If you want any real fill/masking you need to use the clean metal primer.

Re: {1965 Jupiter Restoration}

Yeah, I'd recommend TWO coats of the Clean Metal Primer and do a light sanding between coats with a Scotch Brite pad. That will give you a GOOD base for the final coat of paint AND even things up a bit. I would then do a Wet Sanding with 320 grit and final wipe down with Mineral Spirits right before applying the first Color Coat.

Doesn't it!. The epoxy i used says its U/V protected up to 120 degrees. you think it would be fine to leave unpainted?
