Hi all,

I am in the process of stripping the interior of my '66 down to bare shiny steel with grinders and 3M discs. It's cleaning up beautifully. I bought some of Eastwood's rust encapsulator to apply on the bare metal (floors, firewall, under dash). I plan on painting the interior the same as the exterior (some kind of blue I haven't decided on yet). I am questioning using the rust encapsulator after reading many recent posts about just using an epoxy primer like DP-90. Am I o.k to cover the entire inside with the rust encapsulator? I know I may have to use a primer on top of that depending on the top coat I choose. I just didn't want to make extra work for myself if not necessary.

Also will I have a problem laying down a blue topcoat over the black encapsulator or primer? I haven't brushed any on yet so I could still get the new silver stuff before I start.

Thanks for the advice as always!

It may look clean and shinny, but trust me from past mistakes if there was ANY rust there that grinding wheel just dug the microscopic rust into your metal. I would use a mild phosphoric acid solution spray made by PPG (I just bought a bottle for $10) DX579 I believe was the # or any other company such as POR Evercoat etc.. to chemicly change that microscopic rust otherwise it will be back soon. You must prime with a bare metal primer in the same day you use the acid. Good Luck
