There are a number of fillers to use under powdercoat. Lab Metal, JB weld, thermobond, take the class by googling. Also, powder primers like KL from 365 can be used as a sanding filler on badly pitted surfaces. I'd use paint for the reasons ericbee just mentioned. BluebroncoNC: that is one...

Oakland: Hopefully at the very least I have given you food for thought, and slightly increased your finishing knowledge base. I'm just trying to pay forward all the great knowledge from some very experienced Bronco people on this great board. Hope your paint project goes well.

Didn't mean to confuse you guy's... much. ;D Let me give you the reasoning behind my reccomendations and you can see how they apply to you. 1) Not many people have the ability to sandblast a full dash. But regardless, the second that metal is blasted white clean, you start the corrosion...

Allen, I never mentioned anything about e-coat. I had to say something because it's the second time you brought it up. Hopefully your not confusing ecoat with etch primer. Your now saying you use the wash primer before the other product you recommened-- so I'll go with that for the sake of not...

I wouldn't recommend, and know of no single solvent from the hardware stores that I would trust with paint prep. To clean bare metal, all the solvents (i.e., mineral spirits, laquer thinner, alcohol, naptha, MEK, acetone) have been used as degreasers. However, unless the surface is kept wet...

Epoxy primer does not treat the metal. The etching primer (wash primer) is applied to treat the metal-- meaning, it passivates the metal, removes any organic contaminants (slight oil, fingerprints), and provides a solid foundation to apply the next coating. Zinc and chromated primers are...

I'm always Leary of products that don't tell you what the base resin is. Since this is a hardner added 2 part system, and also states that it is a "surfacer", not a "sealer", I'm going with urethane as a guess since the mfgr doesn't trust you with that information. Also, I'd need to see ASTM...

A concourse job would/ should include sending out all metal parts for original factory plating. This could include iron or magnesium phosphating, CAD plating, or chrome plating. Wash primer passivates the bare steel or aluminum and keeps further corrosion from taking place. It also does not...

Depends on the type of job you want to do-- as the previous posts have stated. Also depends on the condition of all the parts. My process listed below: 1) Clean all parts with denatured alcohol. 2) scuff sand all parts with 320-400 grit. 3) Wash prime (phosphoric acid etch primer-- not the...

Yes. If durability and repair ability are of concern, go bc/cc. Single stage has its place as already mentioned previously. Although, if I didn't want the full gloss on the interior, I'd just add some gloss modifier and bring the gloss down a bit. But I'd still have the durability of the...

Sent you a PM.

Looking for some doors if there in decent shape.
