Yay! Tack rags are good, and you might be able to get them at Home
Depot as
they're used for a lot of fine wood finishing. If not, go to an auto
paint
supply store or a large, decent auto supply store. And so are lint free
paper
towels sold special for this, used with a special surface wash agent,
followed
with a wash of an enamel reducer. All wax, oils, silicone, etc. must be
gone from
the surface. I would also use an etching/primer on any bare metal
surfaces.
Much more effective than plain primer. Not only do you need a
mechanical bond,
but a chemical bond with the bare metal surface. mar-hyde, brand, makes
a single
stage self etching primer in light gray that's in a rattle can. Nice,
as all the
leftover is still in the can! It runs about $10 to $12 a can of 19 oz.
Keep in
mind that the surface prep is really important to a nice adhering paint
job.
Don't want any rust areas or lifting showing up in the future,
UNDERNEATH the
unbroken paint surface.
