While attempting to remove the carpet glue around the other areas of the car, I used a product called Citrustrip, which several others on hear have used. Unfortunately it took off more than just the carpet glue, which is okay seeing as I needed to paint the new metal anyway.

I am in the process of sealing up a few of the weld before hitting it with paint and primer on the inside, and undercoating on the bottom. This would be my first automotive paint job, and I am curious what paint products and process the Brain Trust would recommend? It seems from the searching I did, that other have used Metal Ready before paint and SKS on the bottom side. (Keep in mind there is some light surface rust on the underside from when new pan was welded in: Water for fire avoidance, I'm told).

I have a 20Gal air compressor, and can buy a paint gun, but I could use some help in the product selection.

Thanks in advance

Alex
