I'm about to do a lot of rust repair on my early B. I wrote to Moss
asking what kind of primer manufacturers put on replacement body
panels. The answer I got was very general, to the effect that I
should make sure it was compatible with the paint I was going to
use...
The second part of my question was whether I should be
priming/painting the backsides of parts (like sills and doglegs)
prior to installation as a rust proofing step. No answer on that
one. I've seen parts with only primer (rattle-can grey mostly) rust
through, and many primers aren't meant to be exposed to moisture, so
I'm concerned.
So my question is, what sort of prep/painting, if any, should be
done to black-primered replacement sheet metal?
