Sounds like a great set up. That 6 spd auto sounds like a nice option.
Matt Sweet car!

Default Next step in the project

Need some help from the experts. I am going to prep and coat the underside with a bed liner and need to make sure I have the steps correct so it turns out good.

1. Sand any surface rust that may be present on the non edp coated pieces such as the subframe and mini tubs (will 180 grit work?)
2. Red Scotch bright the areas to spray that have the edp coating or should I just use 180 grit?
3. Clean with waterborne wax and grease remover
4. Dry the panels and then wipe down with tack cloth
5. Spray SPI epoxy primer (How many coats?)
6. Seam seal all the panels (any recommendations or favorites for sealer?)
7. Should I put another coat of epoxy primer on and what is my time window from first coat of epoxy primer?
8. Apply bedliner coating (What is my window to put over the epoxy primer without having to scuff with red scotch bright?)
9. What are your recommendations for undercoating? I was looking at Raptor or SPI.

Please give me your input to the above info on what I am using and if I have the steps in the right order.

Thanks
Colin
