I just started to attempt my first paint job on my 67 Fairlane and need some advice. There seems to be a ton of knowledge here so I figured this would be a good place to ask questions. First off the car was covered in a very old custom paint job. I think it was laquer but I'm not sure. I do know it was very thick and had cracked and crazed all over. I knew it had to go to bare metal so I started stripping it with a 3" razor. This worked pretty good and the paint flew off. All thats left now is primer and filler. I was going to buy an eastwoods soda blaster to finish it but after some research I find some people dont reccomend this. So what should I do from this point? Sand it off with 80 or a stripping pad? And what about the filler? In some areas its pretty thick from previous repairs. And since this is being done in my garage when I can get to it. It might sit for a couple weeks before I return. How should the bare metal be prepared. Ive used aircraft stripper and naval jelly in spots so it needs to be prepped/cleaned somehow. Thanks for any input.
