curtisshell Junior Member C Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 4 Bertram, TX	I am beginning to do some body work on my 58 apache. I was just wondering what steps should be taken to assure that my work will stick around. Should all the paint be taken off to bare metal before priming? How many coats of primer? Should the primer be sanded between coats? Any comments suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Curtis 1958 Big Window 3100 in the family since new.
