Those were good ones!

This weekend I used an etching primer on the metal. The local paint shop said to just get one light coat on to prevent rust forming. He said it was sort of a pre primer.

to clean the metal I used a metal wash first. It was a concentrated mix so I diluted it 50/50 with water. I sprayed it on and wiped it off with a clean rag. It took off any residue left on there and left me with clean metal as seen in the pics.

Of course, I cleaned as much as I could, but couldn't get every square inch. So, we'll see. It'll still be a while before this is all done.

I'll do the body work as needed then I can re apply paint/ primer as needed. I'll also use the Eastwood rust encapsulator paint in the inner sides as I've had good luck with that in the past.
