Wish I had known about spi at the time, I would have used their stuff..
I'm like Robert, remove the black coating, then you know what you got..
I heard it said if you wipe the black with laquare thinner and it doesnt come off, then its good..if it comes off ,then it needs removed...but I'd rather start with bare metal..
If Robert and John said to smear mayonnaise on it before paint, then I'd probably do it...hahaha
