Right then when i start restoring my nova im going to be going over every seam, taking all the sealer off back to the bare metal.I want to do this to make sure i get rid of every single bit of rust and to hopefully seal it all back up better than factory.
The order i think i would do it in would be like this.
once striped back to bare metal and all rust has been removed.
1. a coat or two of acid etch primer
2. seam sealant liberaly coating each seam
3. several coats of your basic grey primer
4. quick coat of paint to seal the primer up
5. thick coating of stonechip/underseal
6. final coats of body colour paint.
Thats the way im thinking of doing the whole under side, and then the inside & engine bay would be the same just without the stonechip/underseal.
does anyone have any ideas or comments on how should do this, and also what products would you recomend for each stage?
no doubt im sure this would help other people out as and when they restore or make repairs to their own cars..
cheers chris
