What part of the car is painted? um... all of it.
The paint job isn't bad for rustolium, but i've been going through and sealing up some old holes that were just plugged before (i.e. antenna, windshield washer ports, etc..).
Just playing around I hit the paint on the hood with some 600 grit to see what I was working with and found a whole lot of problems:
1) it was a really thin coat of paint and about a minute on the hood showed bare metal.
2) where the paint was thicker I began seeing high spots
I think this is the plan.
1) hit the whole thing with a 600 grit
2) pretend the rustolium is primer
3) take a while and do some real painting.
Thanks for the advice guys.
