Paint Stripper Cleanup

[race-rodz-inc]

it doesnt bother me at all, i never ever ever spray primer on anything that isnt sanded, 80gt da to prep the metal takes all the flash rust right off, if you are really worried about... they have lots of metal washes on the market that you can use.... but. i have never had a problem with my normal way of doing it, i HAVE had problems when i used a metal wash.

i do about 1-3 harleys a week, every one of them is stripped to metal just like i described, bikes i did 5 years ago still have no problems. cars i did 10 years ago still have no problems.

as long as you prep it and get ALL the flash rust off..... i see no problem with it.

Ohhhhhhhhhh I understand your previous post. I read over the 'guide coat' part. I thought you were saying you leave it on there.

I guess I should explain why I wonder about the metal stripper. I am cleaning out the underside of a fender that has crevases where the thinner can get into, and probably has. If I use water to clean it out, it will rust in there, and there is no way for me to get to it with a sanding implement. That was why I sent out a post earlier about metal washes. I was wondering if they would do the trick in those hard-to-get-to places.

ok... that make a lil more sence, yes... on the back side... i would say go ahead and use a wash/converter. then epoxy prime over it. good to go.
