Re: Questions about primers, prep and such, for parts
You are not helping your own cause, Just kidding! Sorry to hear about your cousin, cancer sucks!
As to trying to give you a realistic answer without knowing much about what products you have on there can only be a general "guess".
On the bed, ASSUMING there is hardener in the enamel, you will be fine to sand with 500-600 grit & proceed. To test if you are not sure, a clean towel soaked in lacquer thinner placed on the surface for a few minutes & then removed will tell the tale. If nothing happened, its catalyzed, if you have a rag stuck in the paint & a soft goo-mess, its not & needs to come off. I would do a spot down low, inside the bed...someplace not in plain sight. 5 years later shouldnt be a problem, but dont invite one anymore than you need to to test.
On to the cab, You mentioned epoxy, that is better for you having it sit than an acid etch wash primer. Some epoxies have a "re-apply" requirement outside the re-coat window (as in you have to sand/scuff & then re-apply more epoxy) others dont, just sand/scuff & go onto urethane primer.
Again, thats why it is best to know the products & have the p-sheets handy for those products. Lorne
