Thumbs up Thanks for all your input/advice.

I will probally need afew gallons of,etch primer?
I want to do a thorough job,so it will be a total strip down and glass out.Then tackle,the rust.
As for equipement,I'll be only paying half (and I'll have a while to find funds). My car is,in my Brother's unit and He's got about 8 project cars,so He'll need to do some spraying,at sometime.
Once I've done alot of reading,research and searching Youtube,I'll only attempt a wing,engine bay or a boot lid.I'll see how I do with them 1st,before I venture further.

do the engine bay as a test run , when you do the whole outside , do it in one hit and metallic can shade differently depending on atmospheric conditions believe it or not .

also for panel repairs you can get electrically conductive primer for welded panels and the like , knowing that it wont corrode on the inside of the panel .
