I spy another "issue" or concern I'd have about the car.

This was a project in a high school car shop..... Who knows what and how many coats and what brands etc were used in the priming of the car? Paint is critical these days and the paints MUST be used in almost a "system" format. And primers have kind of a shelf life of adhesion etc. By that I mean - many times you are to lay a second coat etc within a specific time.... and if you don't then there is another prep procedure etc. We won't know that any of these "rules of paint" have been followed.

Was the body prepped properly at each coat? Or was the class on paint more of a "lay some on and sand it"? Was the intention then to take the body to bare steel before final paint and assembly.

I'm just tossing this out there because I think it's the way you need to think about this particular project.
