: I'm only a couple of years away from the body work on my project.. I need to take a very good body to bare metal,, then what do I do.. I'de like steps/ procedures w/ brand names on the products used..I've heard "metal prep"but what is it? who makes it? What do they call it?I've read/ got a bunch of books but I'm looking for "instructions for dummies"
: I'de appreciate E from someone who can lay it out A1, A2, B1, B2 etc.... I'm a fairly proficient woodworker/finisher but I don't know the materials used here.. I can make it shine after we get the "sub" layers on...
Hi Steve..
Perhaps my two-part article in the March-April and May-June 1997 issues of the "Model A News" titled "Painting the 1928-1931 Model "A" Fords" may be of help to you.
The article was mainly written for those with minimal painting experience and describes the total preparation and the application of the lacquer finish.There are a lot of references to the supplies and their sources.
