Your car has wax or silicone polish on it that must be removed. Old cars are very difficult to paint, as the metal pores contain these substances. Clean the surface with a solvent sold by auto paint stores, then apply an appropriate primer-sealer before the paint. Otherwise no paint will work.

What a fun looking project!! If it were mine, I'd keep it operable and do it a section at a time using black primer as the top coat. Then when it was all done, paint it the color that made me happy. In the long process of bringing a body back to finished, the color while in progress doesn't matter. However, the black primer would match better with the rest of the undone car and not look so much like a patch work quilt while it's being done and used. Good luck and I'm sure you'll have fun. If you don't you are doing it wrong! This message was edited by 1934 Ford on 5-20-11 @ 2:19 PM
