The wifes 65 impala has some rust in the windshield channel and drip rails. This is pitted rust but no holes. Can I sandblast these areas and then etch prime then epoxy prime,or do I have to replace the metal?
These areas will be difficult to replace if I am force to do that. Do I need to prep the area with an metal prep or somthing after sandblasting but before the etch prime? I have a picture in my showroom of the windshield rust, I would link to this post but can't figure it out.
Thanks,
Jon

If there are no Through Holes.. you need no welding.. Just blast and clean area to be painted with a pre-clean..
Then ecth and 2-K primer sand and finish coat

if there are small voids,, and your anal.. after you blast fill them with Kitty Hair ( fiberglass Filler ) most will be sanded off but it will leave a FLAT surface,,
