Sorry for the cross-posts to those on multiple lists. I'm part way through stripping and repainting the front chassis rails, shock towers, bulkhead and shelf. Just the shelf to go yet.
Old paint was mechanically stripped off, Rust converter product sprayed on just in case, then a coat of primer, then colour coats. My question is: what is the difference between "regular" primer, and "etch" primer? I saw a show recently where they sprayed on etch primer in the expectation that it would neutralize surface rust, and leave a primed surface. It was an Eastwood product, but I see Etch primer for sale at my FLAPS. For the shelf on which the M/Cs etc rest, should I be using Etch primer? For that matter, should I have used it on the rest, and would it obviate any benefit of applying Rust Converter? Sorry, lots of questions, but very little traffic, everyone must be out having fun!
