Re: Ford Model A Tudor Modern Twist on a Classic

Body prep process:

1. After sand-blasting a rub down with 180 grit
2. Prep-all to clean the surface with a cloth
3. Layer of epoxy primer
4. After it drys, cut with "grey" scotch brite
5. Fiberglass reinforced filler on welded repair areas, seams, or areas where moisture might bleed through from pinholes in the surface.
6. Cut down with 40 grit to smooth the surface
7. Optional, layer of epoxy primer where bare metal might be showing again after the 40 grit treatment.
8. Fill the entire panel with Evercoat rage ultra.
9. Spray guide coat and sand down high spots until you hit metal with 180 grit. Don't worry about low spots
10. Fill low spots with Evercoat
11. Spray guide coat and sand. It should now be pretty darn close to the shape you want will no high or low spots. If you still have some rinse and repeat step 8-11.
12. Use icing putty or a small amount of filler where any pin holes or spots were missed
13. Guide coat and sand with 180 grit
14. Optional spray high fill primer like featherfill G2
15. sand down a little more with 320 grit.
16. Two good coats of epoxy primer over the surface. This should give you a close to even looking color across the surface. One dry you can also wet the surface a little to give some gloss with prep-all and look for any final areas that were missed.
17. wet sand 320 grit
18. prep-all and clean up.


You're ready for paint!!
