Thanks Terry I doubt that is true , meaning first off your part should be finished in an powder coated finish or an epoxy sealer like dp50 by ppg or Valspar direct to metal is also a good one or a rust barrier paint ( por 15) then you weld it in ,recoat with por 15 if chosen, after its in any part you can see can be painted by a good painter . and the way I would paint is this way once its ready to spray it can be done 2 ways it can be sprayed wet on wet meaning you seal it with dp or Valspar then 1/2 later with no sanding you paint with a good urethane done... and if you prep right looks awesome( new car quality) or spray a direct to metal primer like Valspar reduced a different way so its a primer block it reprime and spray urethane ( show quality) just my 2 cents |

Sorry but not sure I follow.
I want this body color and once installed I can't see how you get back side of panels and the body itself. The tray and support block the space under it . Not meaning to be blockhead but seem to be getting to that point. Thanks for input Brain fade so need help.
