[quote="jerry"]there is no substitute for painting on bare metal. hoping to wrap this task up in the morning so that i could return to work on my Malaga car, i was dismayed at the appearance of the old paint underneath the new primer. SOOOO.... off it all came. at least where it's readily visible. the engine bay does not count, btw. 8 hours later i can sit down and document today's effort. a wire wheel on a cheap grinder is a great tool for quickly removing old paint. i also decided to remove the fuse box so i could get paint there. prior damage was straightened as best as possible. i thought of smoothing it out completely with a dab of bondo but caught myself before i wasted any effort on that. some things just aren't worth the effort and hiding an old crash is not necessary for me in the engine compartment. i call it battle scars and it conveys a sense of history on this car. if it was on the exterior, that would be a different matter.[/quote]
