Re: Question about painting

I took my 70 MGB with me to Guam back in 1991 to give me something to do while I was there. It was all in primer (not epoxy). Knowing that the regular sandable primer is porous, I, being the poor airman at the time, sprayed the entire car with clear rattle-can spray paint. It did a great job keeping the car from rusting, but I did have to reapply some clear here and there. I was finally able to get the car painted in a paint booth on base before I shipped the car back. Did I mention the car was on a ship to/from Guam for about 35 days?

If I did any body work, I would always topcoat with clear.

I also used a car cover to keep rain/salt spray off to keep things from getting out of hand.

Good luck on your project!
