Bare metal prep
Fellow paint sniffers...
I'm currently working on a non porsche project.... Acres of bare steel, I've used the ppg one choice cleaner and conditioner. It's been done for several weeks now, and im almost ready to epoxy prime the bulk of the exterior..
I followed the tech to the letter rinsing until the water sheeting was apearant, and no, It's in a dry temp controled environment.
I intend to perform multiple wipe downs with acetone and w&g remover until the prep towels come away clean.
I've read some prefer a final scratch down of 80-100 before epoxy. I've also read some wash with soap and water to neutralize any remaining acid.
I paint every day... Aircraft both fabric and aluminum, I know my craft, however it's been 20+ years since I've shot bare steel..
So what's my best next move?
