sorry Jbm1956 be meaning to text you but been busy with work and in laws in town, after applying a epoxy primer I sanded it with 320 and shot it. the inside is only a single stage but i'm going to do a 2 stage outside. I used a paint removal wheel by 3M that attached to my trusty harbor freight drill(one of few things I get from there that actually lasted) and sanded away some stuff I did by hand till my arms were soar. after a chat with the local paint supply shop he said I could get away with just epoxy since my body wasn't to tore up. was a few spots here and there plus metal replacement but i'm all about driving em daily so it wont be no trailer queen
