RE: Rustproofing bare panels

[Dean Cunningham <DeanC@domain.elided>]

Hi,
FWIW
My panel beater used a light primer coat. My painter is going to strip
the light primer coat off before painting.
The paint applied will be a two pack mix so it really needs the primer
off anyhow. The only worry would be if you had plastic filler underneath
the light primer coat and the effect thinners would have on the plastic
filler. My car has been beaten into shape and lead used in a couple of
places (mainly getting the door gaps right) so use of thinners will not
afffect the repairs.

cheers

Subject: Rustproofing bare panels




Hi all

I'm currently doing bodywork restoration on my Stag and most of it is
now
stripped back to bare metal prior to me welding in a few cosmetic repair
patches.   Question:   What is best way of rustproofing the panels
between
now and the proper body preparation and respray?   Someone suggested
WD40
sprayed lightly over them should be enough but is it possible to get
that
off again easily?   Or should I just give everything a light primer
coat?

thanks

Alastair
