Ed, I love it man, got some heart and soul to it. Actually do you plan on keeping her in Black Epoxy Primer for a while, or you gonna proceed onto paint.

I have a friend with a 46 Chebby panel truck, he had it for the first 3 or 4 years just in the epoxy primer, he then painted it cherry bclack BC/CC, believe or not his wife preferred the black primer, and so did he.

I may do this that or whatever, bottom line is this, my body work will be done under this, so would only need to sand out whatever I topcoat with and either re-prime and paint, or paint directly over....So not a big deal

I'm sure it'll be primer for quite a while. Will eventually get it painted. Current plan charolette ivory. Who knows what I'll be planning when I actually get towards paint.

You Know Ed, I may do the same thing, who knows what color or sheen it will be, this thread was about ideas for me.

I figure 2 k epoxy primer, or any primer that seals well is okay for a time. It's not like your car will be in th Arizona sun 7-24, or driving in snow/salt/slush.

My car sits inside when not being driven, so primer or satin finish could last a good long time, compared to outdoors usage.

I have a Rusto painted trunk lid on my parts car sitting outside 7-24, I painted with very little prep a while back, gonna leave it outside a few years and see what happens, so far looks just like the day I painted it, mind you I put gloss/hardener in the paint.........Fred

All of you know paint and variations. So how does a satin primer finish differ from an original patina finish? As I understand it, for original patina the paint that is on the vehical is retained and the surface rust areas are sanded then primered. Question: Is the entire surface then clear coated with a semi-gloss or just left as is / as was?

I want an original patia result on the truck shown, so I'm thinking to clean up the blue, then sand and primer the large surface rusty areas, feather sand them to 'blend'. Bumbers, running boards, mirrors would be black. Grill probably primer, depending on what I find, need a grill. Suggestions requested.

Looks good the way it is. Needs hubcaps and you're ready to hit the shows.

California / Az maybe not, Mid-west rust - probably.
