Since I've seen my name in print above, this is some of what I found on my '31.
The primer is a cheap Western Paints acryllic primer. On my car I found it to be in excess of 1/32" thick in places, covering a mulltitude of dings, dents and poorly formed areas. Since it is almost impossible to "get behind" the door and trunk panels without potentially doing more damage, Rage Gold, Icing and poly primer worked their miracles. Additionally, when I contacted Brookville, they stated that the primer should be totally stripped.
Note to Don, Brookville '32 grille shells are supplied without primer - but they have enough other quality problems without the primer
Shown - trunk lid, top of rear quarter and dash with a pile of swept up primer on my bench from ONLY the dash.
Note - most of this was done by hand with 60/80 and some 'intervention' with my DA and a lot of 100 gritLast edited by IC2; 01-21-2008 at 05:32 AM.

I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
