Hello folks!
I’m in the planning phase of painting my teener. The car is very original but it has a dull non original top coat (silver), hence I’m contemplating how far I shall disassemble the car. I’m planning to go down to bare metal for the new paint. However, the inside of the body, trunk’s inside and door seals have great looking original paint that I want to preserve. What’s the forums experience/verdict? Paint assembled or build stands for the doors and remove trunks to paint them off the body? Thanks! PS: i do plan on removing the windshield. |

I blasted all the way to bare metal but then I painted every square inch of metal on the car along with repairing a huge amount of rust damage.
I would think modern primers and paints are much better than those of 40+ years ago for adhesion and durability but I'm not an expert in the matter. If I wasn't repairing rust or painting the trunks, I would just go to primer |
