Using VHT chassis paint, they say that it doesn’t need primer and understanding the curing process for their paint is more chemical that evaporative, there’s a specific primer needed.
I am watching budget not regardless of the added work but rather because of it.
The primer isn’t inexpensive so I’m following their claims and skipping it. This has created a couple questions.
As far as prep, I’m trying to remove as much rust, both surface and deep. So, as things get cleaned flash rust appears.
Immediately prior to paint, everything will be wiped down with acetone. Is the flash rust able to be covered directly with the Chassis paint.
As far as other, more unreachable places like recessions and creases, I’m brushing on rust converter so, does that require any special prep?
Thanks with your help here as well.
