My plan so far is to scuff the coating (whatever it is), cover it with two coats of red oxide primer, then paint it with the enamel I got from Jim Carter, which is not an activated paint. That is what I have done with the cab, and it looks pretty good (so far).
Maybe I would be better off stripping these fenders down to bare metal though.

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 (
