So I just picked up new inner and outer front fenders for my 53 one ton. I was told "they are already primed, ready to paint". Is this for real? I thought they were painted to keep them from rusting during shipping, but I'm not sure I would trust that paint as a good primer.
Anyone have experience with this? Or advice? (Or both)?

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
