Well I am in the same boat as Irelands Child. My 1930 Brookville Model A roadster has the same primer on it. So I will be taking it down to bare metal and then begin the primer & painting process. I will be having this professionally done. I just got a new 1930 smooth cowl from Brookville which was bare metal & it is being primered the correct way. I'm still trying to decide on the two tone paint scheme. I kinda like the new 2007 Toyota blue ribbon metalic for the top color and I'll have to find a light silver for the main body & fenders. So many decisions to make & the problem is I have never done this before so I am kind of like a hog on ice.
