When sandblasting my truck with my 5 hp HD air compressor the pitted areas took a lot of extra time. I phoned a local well known pro bodyman who warned me about rust with this story
" If you had a small nail a mile long that was well galvanized and one end was bared to the moisture in the air that rust would start here and travel the whole mile inside the galvanization and eventually destory the steel in nail." I was thinking of first using a liquid rust remover then sandblasting pitted areas to make certain there were no small spec of rust. Has anyone tried this? PLEASE advise me. Thanks in advance.AK

After you clean any surface to bare metal it will start to rust instantly ALWAYS prime bare metal with an acid etch primer then use your primer sealer over that, then paint. Ask your local automotive paint supplier about proper materials and a book to teach you to use his products. It will save you a lot of money by making your project last longer. Many of us old timers get hung up on what we used "back when I was a kid" but major advancements have been made in the paint field recently. To relate this think that just ten or so years ago if you had an IBM XT computer it was state of the art, Today it won't even run a basic modern program.
