laquor vs. urathane paint

JoeC's idea is a good one, but often times you are in the same boat as when you started. We learned this the hard way on our Camaro, as dad talked to several paint companies, and even had a PPG rep take a look at the car. We followed their recommendations to a T, but the paint still went to crap in short order. After 5+ years of complaining, they finally decided to reimburse our supplies...gee, thanks .

How an original paint car is to be stripped is just as important. The bare metal on some older cars was coated prior to any primer application.

Soda blasting has worked best for me. It will not do a very good job on rust but it leave the metal closest to factory condition.
