Re: DIY Paintjob

Here is my 70 K10. I need to put fiberglass in the holes in the rockers (don't want to weld in new metal now- another year maybe- been working mechanically on her for 2 years just want to drive!!). i figure I could use about 180 grit and go over the whole body. I probably need self etching primer in a number of places- some rust is coming through on the new after market fenders. Then I need I guess 3 layers of sandable primer (recommendations? Epoxy for all etching and sandable primers? acrylic? I'm clueless... and do i wet sand the primers- and if so what grit?). Then a coat or 2 of paint with wet sanding (1000 grit?) in between. then wet sand the final coat of paint (?) then spray on clear coat? Thanks for advice. I do have a compressor. I painted a bed several years ago- self etching primer then acrylic paint. NO PRIMER between- and that was a mistake...!
