I painted my uncles 8-N a couple of years back.
I used a wire brush and sandpaper to take it down to bare metal. Than I primed and top coated it.

The main problem is the deep and wide pits. I was wondering if bondo would work to fill these and smooth out the pits. Having never used bondo before, would I Have to be down to bare metal? Could I do this with chemicals?// Thanks alot.

Check out the website evapo-rust.com for your chemical rust remover. As far as filling the pits, try glazing putty,it comes in a tube, you squeeze it out and spread it with a plastic spreader or putty knife and sand it when it cures. You can even buy it at Wal-Mart in the auto section. Good Luck

You can buy a filler that comes in a tube that auto body guys call "icing". Any part store has it. works great for large pits.

Chrisr , the stuff in the tubes is called Glazing putty . It's actually extremely thick primer which works best after the metal has been cleaned down & primed first . Then you spread this putty into the little indents & let dry for awhile . Then sand smooth with 400 grit or finer . Then prime the whole thing again before the final finish is applied . Ken
