finally after almost 30 years my old project is out and getting some needed attention. i been looking into and reading a ton about what products are out there today and thats what lead me to this forum. going forward i plan to use spi epoxy and primers. my questions have to do with the older epoxy that is currently on my truck. front half of the truck has base/clear on it allready and bed is just epoxy primer. its the older ppg dp50 epoxy primer. when i spoke to the ppg rep he told me the whole truck should be stripped to bare metal before doing anything cause the dp50 is lead based. when i started this project it had the 80s chevy paint peal so i took it down to bare metal to start with with. not sure if i need to do that again or not. any advice is appreciated. heres how she sits as of now.
