Looking for some advice on prepping the floor, engine bay and trunk for paint.
My car, a 1973 Cuda, was dipped about five years ago and a single coat of epoxy primer was applied.
I replaced a few panels, floor pans, trunk pans, patched a few holes, added frame connectors, rad support and cowl reinforcements.
The car is currently on a rotisserie so I have easy access to the bottom of the car.
My main question is what do I need to do to prep the floor (both sides), trunk floor (both sides) and the engine bay for paint?
What grit should I be using to sand the bare metal and existing epoxy primer so I can shoot two more coats of primer and then paint?
Given all the contours of these areas it looks like I will be doing it all by hand.
I already purchased epoxy primer from Southern Polyurethanes and I am planning on going with a single stage paint for painting these areas and then a BC/CC for the outer shell.
Thanks in advance. This is my first paint job and I want to make sure that I am doing this right the first time.
