[T3] New video update for 72 Fastback

[Dennis Stiefel]

My body guy is using some kind of epoxy primer on mine but I don't know the
brand.  I'll ask him next time I talk to him. I don't for see it going
outside anytime soon except to move from one shop to another within the
school and when we sand blast it and most of that is done now.

I guess  I'll use whatever our body instructor recommends. What dose
everybody here  recommends? 





I prefer PPG's DP series epoxy primer. I used it exclusively on my 71  
Notch, and I'm also using it on my T-34 (I'm doing it the same way). If you
have 
 to store it outdoors, it seals the metal, and won't allow rain/melted snow 
to  get past it to the bare metal. Unfortunately, after 7 days it has to be 
scuffed  and re-applied before any other body work can be applied over it. 
This can be a  good thing though, if you're working on a long term project 
(like my T-34), as  you can strip the old paint off, and seal an area off, 
then move to another  area. Once everything is sealed in DP, then you (or
your 
body guy) can work an  area at a time. This is how I'm doing my T-34, and 
I've already got most of the  inside portion back into paint (been working
on 
it off and on since May of  2010). The front end and rear trunk portion are 
still in DP that I put on  over the summer, while the sides from the doors 
back are currently in K-36 (high  build sandable primer). I hope this helps.
