Good point.
Do you need the high build or can you just use a good epoxy (regular) primer/sealer over the base metal/skim filler. Then base it.

You can go to the rust bullet or master coat websites and see how cars that are being done with these primers to minimize comebacks. I've been doing this for 40 years I have paint jobs out there one is 40 years old the other one is 16 and both cars are show. The 55 I did in 2006 were similar to the situation you have now.Good luck with your project I hope you don't become too confused

So when at metal/skim fill ..... use this
https://nomorerust.com/store/rust-st...st-sealer.html ?
Then another primer ?
How come both primers - why cant you lay basecoast directly over that - it says can be sanded and topcoated.
Yes can be confusing. But just like the truck build itself ..... starts to work itself out - normally after I ask the same questions 3 times
thx good tips.
