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.

yes it is a problem to weld.
I've welded the RD parts without any prep and it welds poorly, just like welding over primer. It needs to be pure clean metal, so I media blasted mine for good welding penetration |
