Here is the situatuion, the truck has some spots that have been sanded, but are pitted, with the remains of rust in the small pits. The truck also has spots that have been sanded down to the metal that are smooth and bright. It also has some spots that have well sanded old paint on it. Is there a sealer/primer that is suited to cover all these conditions? If so, how about giving me a product name. Thanks!

Not sure if POR-15 is suitable for finish side painting. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 95 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2007 Posts: 95 | Rust Bullet
They claim they can handle it.
Read somewhere a person was using POR Patch and Rust Bullet together.
I have not been thrilled with POR 15 myself, and am wainting to try the Rust Bullet. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 222 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 222 | Thanks Woody and underdog. I will read up on rust bullet.

I have been using some SEM products recommended by the body shop near me.
Also POR 15 makes a tie coat primer that they claim goes over the POR 15 and allows you to paint any product over it,
Brian | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2007 Posts: 275 | A coat of Dupont Variprimer will work for you. It's an self etching primer. After one coat of it, follow with a couple coats of 2K primer. Then you can do all your body work on top of the 2K.
No better smell than that of fresh paint. I've been building and painting cars/trucks for 47 years. Not gonna stop now. http://www.coxcustomcars.com/ | | |
