Mike,
I like to use epoxy primer such as PPG DP on bare metal that requires filler
work. It seals and protects the metal and it is compatible with filler.
When your filler work is complete, shoot on a primer / surfacer, block it
down and you're ready for color. My trucks were done this way. See 'em at
the URL below.

Subject: [oletrucks] 1st time painter's question
Folks,
OK I've read a ton of books and talked to my auto body materials
supplier...but its a dead even split....so here's my question!
I have my '46 Chevy cab sanded down to bared metal (36 grit, then 80, then
150)....do I put the filler on where needed first? or the etching primer?
This is my 1st attempt at the body work so please make your advice simple!
Thanks!
Mike
