My project is a 1954 Ford F100 pickup mostly stock restoration. The truck was in pieces when I bought it. I've completed the frame and drive train work and have been working on individual body panels in preparation for painting. With no prior experience in auto body work it's been a challenge but generally the results are good so far. I'm ready to begin work on the cab and need some help. The previous owner had a body shop do some work on the cab only. I'm guessing the work was done in the early 1990's. The cab body work is done. The interior, door jambs, window jambs, and firewall are finish painted with (I believe) old school acrylic enamel. The remainder of the cab is in a mustard yellow primer.
My plan is paint the truck inside and out with SPI Medium Red BC/CC. My question is, how should I proceed on the partially complete cab? Do I need to epoxy over everything first or can I go directly to 2K primer? What sanding steps are needed to rough up the existing finished paint before covering?
Thank you
