a good quality epoxy primer is what you need. use a bare metal prep solutution before you spray anything.

A good etching primer will save you the step of preping the metal...
Good luck. I will be doing the same thing to my truck hear soon.  Now if I could just decide between kandy brandywine over a gold base or stark white with ghost flames.... Ogier |

Here's a good article by Martin SR, he's been in the auto paint busiess for years and flat knows his stuff.
http://www.myoldtruck.com/modules.ph...showpage&pid=7 There are 3 pages in the article. His best advice is to stick to one brand of products for the entire painting process. Everything from metal prep cleaner to clear coat.
