Noob question here, I'm stripping my truck cab that currently looks like this:
And getting to bare metal looks like this:
Is the black rust or has it had some sort of rust converter applied to it? I'm asking because while I would like to get to bare shiny metal, this is some really difficult stuff to get off. A wire wheel doesn't touch it, 80 grit Norton Gold on a DA doesn't faze it, those weird paint removal wheels won't touch it either. I took about 10 minutes sanding a 1 inch by 1 inch square by hand with the 80 grit and it came off but wrecked my paper....and took friggin 10 minutes.
Can I epoxy over this or do I need to completely get it all the way down?
