Thanks for the response SprayTech.

Trevor and I have made the purchases and have started the sanding. However we started with the trunk lid instead of the body since it looked a lot easier.

We still have a few questions before we get too far.

You said to roughen up the black primer, but I'm afraid that maybe the original paint was not prepped properly before the black primer was applied. So currently we are going down to the original paint. Is there any need to go down to bare metal?

In other reading it talks a lot about paint type compatabilities, i.e. lacquer, enamel and urethane. In testing on an area of original paint I think the original was enamel since when rubbed lightly with a cloth and lacquer thinner the color rubs off immediately. Also there appears to have been a clear coat since when sanded with a 600 grit there is a white residue instead of color. Does this seem consistent with an original chevy factory paint job for 67?

You recommend the single stage black. Can you suggest a specific brand and system so we make sure we use a compatable system from start to finish?

Also, in areas where the original paint is in excellent shape, such as door jams, how much sanding or roughening up is required? Obviously these areas seem like they will be the hardest to sand since the surfaces are so detailed and irregular?

I guess SprayTech is the paint and body guru and I look for his response, but if there are any other ideas or suggestions please let me know.

Thanks, Jack and Trevor.
