Clueless lol
I’m getting ready to do my first restoration. It’s a 71 Chevy 4x4. I’m a certified mechanic but know almost nothing about body work other than what I’ve been studying online. I’m hoping a professional on here will walk me through the steps I need and by the steps I mean ones that match this company’s instructions for their products. I’ll be sandblasting the frame and epoxy priming and painting it. I’m gonna do all the bodywork myself except the base coat and clear coat. I don’t trust myself to do the finish work. Lol. I need step by step instructions including cleaning before primer coats. I’ve already seen arguments on here about soap and water use before priming and using two different cleaning products that I can buy on here. I think itd make me sick to see flash rust on my truck before priming though!!! I need to know. 1. How to prep ie what grit of sandpaper in what order before each step. What to do final cleaning with and how. Which product to use in order all the way up till I take it to the body shop. I trust myself finishing the frame only. Lol. I also need to know quantities of what to order. I’d like to errr on the side of to much if anything because I don’t want to run out in the middle on the weekend. Lol. Thanks for any help. I just want to make sure I do everything right! I’m good with an airless paint sprayer for houses. Not sure if that translates to cars?? Do I need to thin any of these products?
