I swear I have seen this answer before but I can't find it. I am looking for what paint to paint the inside of my longs. I am planning to clean up/sandblast as much rust as possible. Then use Ospho to convert anything I can't get to due to access(this is mainly under the front door post). Then I was planning to paint it with a PPG etching primer. I assume I need another coat of something else before I apply bodywax. Any thought on what that coating should be?

Thanks,
John

I've read in "Auto Restoration" magazine that certain older non-zinc treated bodies (like our 914s) & with certain paints, that you shouldn't or need not use etching primer - so you may want to check into that first (I cannot look for the article this week as prepping for trip then traveling).

A self-hardening epoxy primer over the rust converter and Wurth/other zinc primer should seal it.

Maybe Scotty B can weigh in here for his pro reccos? ... otherwise PM him here using member search.
