Re: Questions about primers, prep and such, for parts

To add a question to the thread-
I used DTM (direct to metal) primer on my bed and cab after blasting them (industrial fire-hose type blaster). I was ignorant to apply enamel paint to the bed afterwards (no sanding of the etching primer DTM- which I assume was correct?). Can I sand that with say 500 grit and continue to paint- or do I need to apply an inbetween stage like primer?

For the cab- only the DTM is on it. It has been sitting 5 years in my garage like that. Can I go straight to a primer or do I need to now sand that self etching (DTM) primer first? Thanks a lot,
