I just put my car back into storage and can't wait to tear it all apart. First, I am going to strip all the paint and bondo to see what is actually under there.
My problem is when I'am ready to paint again I am unsure of which product line to use. I am looking for something cheap and indistructable. (hey, isn't that an oxymoron?) I want to use a BC/CC system.
What type of;
- etching primer
- filling primer
- Paint and clear coat

Also what is the best bodyfiller to use and should I use it between the etching and filling primers or under the etching primer?
Last thing, how well does Por-15 paint over when using there top coat primer?

Thnaks for all the help

The most reliable thing to do is pick one manufacturers system and use thier products. This will keep any problems from incompatable materials from ruining your hard work.

A great website for info is http://www.autobodystore.com/cgi-bin/config.pl?index . I have been getting lots of info there that has helped me slowly but surely prep and paint my elky(Ole paint).

I have to agree with Big James here.. Stick with one system.. I notice all of the body shops are using "Rage" filler for body work.. I also just used a product "Metal to Metal" on a friends bike.. Looks good so far.. I'll give it the old magnet test soon http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif
