Need advice on painting an early 30's ford in Black. I have painted my own stuff before so I have good equipment but lack any bodywork, painting, or techniques to do an all black paint job. The body is in great condition requiring only metal straightening. The fenders have been metal repaired, roughed in, and need a skim coat of filler only. The bed, running boards, and hood are new reproduction items. I am also finishing the frame rails because the 34 pu does not have aprons like a model a.
I have brain picked custom paintersl for tips and a common thread was several used SPI primers. Also after lurking awhile reading, i became interested especially in the black primer and black high solids single stage paint. I would greatly appreciate some basic steps and primers/coats necessary to produce a high quality black cut and buffed finish on my early hot rod. Fenders, grille, and body have all been blasted using black beauty and need direct to metal coverage. New metal has been scuffed with 80 grit w/d. I do own several guns including a 2.2 tip.
I am old, but I am not sanding lazy, just ignorant and can't afford to pay for the hours of prep work and sanding.
Appreciate any education on these products and their use.
