As a matter of interest, there was rust under the primer in a couple of spots - and it was there BEFORE the car was primed. SO, anyone who thinks that they can sucessfully paint a Brookville body w/o taking their primer off, good luck.

StylingZ - make sure the bolt holes on the cowl cover line up correctly before you paint it, mine needed some help - also, if you are going to use a 4 piece hood, you have to drill the bracket bolt holes. A 3 piece hood - no extra holes that (I'm aware of).



I'm curious as to why you're sanding the primer off?

Wouldn't it be easier to wash the primer off with lacquer thinner, then sand?

A messy job, but fairly easy from what one painter friend tells me.
