I then primered the truck. Two coats of 2k to start with everywhere.

I used etching primer on the bare metal bits first though.

Since I was going to cut the jambs, inside the doors, the hinges and all the inside bits first, I concentrated on these parts especially:

- two coats medium build primer
- sand 320 then 400
- etch primer the sanded through spots
- more medium build primer
- more sanding with 400
- sealer coat x 2

Since these are the bits that are not going to be seen as much, I was a little forgiving of runs and dust specs.

Overall the primer turned out well and it will hold fine until I am ready to spray the outside panels.
