I think it would be a mess if you would try to strip the primer. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 | Go over them real good with a green Scotch pad to break the shine and then put a coat of primer over that and then paint. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | Most replacement sheet metal parts come with this coating. Here is information about the coating "EDP= Electro-deposit primer, which is a method of attaching primer to bare steel by electrically charging it. This process has been tested in 500 hours of salt spray with no corrosive effects. The only surface preparation required is scuffing of surface for better paint adhesion before painting. These parts are protected from rust as long as EDP coating remains under the paint." | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 5 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 5 | If the coating is black, it is most likely an Electrodeposition Coating (otherwise known as E-Coat). Scuff with a red scotch-brite pad, seal, and you're ready for paint. | | |
