Epoxy Primed After Metal Work


The back half was epoxy primed after the metal work and body work were complete. The painters are using a Dupont paint system with Rage filler to lightly smooth where needed.

The green wheelwells are actually etch primed after getting them down to bare metal with a high-speed wire wheel (not the one in the photo). A thick coat of 3M rubberized undercoating will be sprayed in them to deaden sound and protect the metal.

I took the various exterior bits and pieces down to bare metal myself. This includes the front and rear valances, the rear trunk extensions, the front headlight extensions and bezels, gravel guard, and stone deflector. It felt good to save these original Ford pieces with some work.
