Ancient thread revivial warning!!!!
Chassis progress has stalled a bit - by brother-in-law is the welding man and he's busy at the moment...
So - i'm going to paint some donor parts: hubs / diff / gearbox / engine block / etc.
From a rusty lump dragged off a Sierra what's the process? I don't want to setup an electrolysis bath - and don't have ready access to a sandblaster - so will be going wirebrush / scotchbrite pads / wet'n'dry for the first stage.
But then what?
Some people mention cleaning down with thinners or petrol
Some people don't seem to use a primer, some use an etch primer, then another primer, then a top coat. And multiple coats of each step.
Some people go Hammerite on bare, or even rusty, metal?!
What do I need to do???!!!
