I have worked in restorations but am not a body and paint guy, please forgive my ignorance. I just dragged home this 56 Chevy on a 61 tow truck frame with disk front brakes. The PO did decent body work, primed it, and left it out in the weather. I have all the glass and chrome in boxes.
My thought is that it needs to be stripped down to bare metal, but since i don't know paint products, and it seems some of you do, I ask the question.
Is there a paint product that will allow painting this rig without going back to clean metal? When i worked in the shipyard, there was a lot of treating rust with Ospho (phosphoric acid solution) and painting right over it. Will that work through primer?
