Does anyone have advice for this new project I have, it's a Galaxie I picked up.
The prior owner had bodywork done and then sanded the primer to apply sealer or paint but never got around to it.
Many areas where bare metal and many areas were thin primer which now developed mild surface rust over the years. there is no pitting just surface rust.
Should I use some kind of rust converter on the surface rust or just sand it down as clean as I can and primer/seal it?
I'm afraid the rust converter or acid will get into the existing primer and soak in, to later cause problems when it gets painted.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations on products to use as well.
