Anybody know how to prep Restoration Dedign parts for paint? I have some rocker covers I want to paint tomorrow. I think they are galvannealed. I am not sure if they need to be sanded.

Galvanized? Are RD parts galvanized?
Whatever, just clean, prime, paint! It's steel, not kryptonite. |

QUOTE(Rand @ Nov 19 2016, 11:40 PM)  Galvanized? Are RD parts galvanized? Whatever, just clean, prime, paint! It's steel, not kryptonite. It's galvannealed steel, not the old galvanized steel. It's the exact same stuff the local Toyota and Honda plants are using, the steel costs RD more but it's worth it. Old galvanized there is prep to weld and paint, galvannealed just go for it. None of the RD made panels are primed, they just sit bare in a warehouse till they are sold, they don't rust. Steve, how do you like those rockers? I had a set in my hands a few months ago.
