Don't judge...on a budget and have some questions.
I have a lwb 70 gmc...orange body with white cab. Paint is original and other than oxidized and minimal surface rust, in decent shape. When I get ready to paint, will the old have to be stripped prior to primer/paint being applied? I understand it was a different type of paint than what is used today, but will the new stick? Not looking for show quality.
Also, I will replace one of the fenders with aftermarket. They come with black primer applied. Will the orange top coat have a different hue with a black epoxy as opposed to a gray epoxy?
