Hey folks, just wanted to share a bit of my journey with the '66 Beetle project and get your thoughts. I started by taking it down to bare metal and applying epoxy primer, but at the time I only used a 1K Rust-Oleum high-filler primer on top because I didn’t have a fresh air supply and didn't trust just an organic mask for 2K products.
Now that I’ve got the fresh air setup, I’m ready to use 2K for a better finish. I’ve been sanding down the old 1K primer and my plan is to apply another coat of epoxy, then a 2K high-filler primer, sand that, apply sealer, and finally do the topcoat and clear coat.
As you probably guessed, I’m an absolute beginner doing this as a hobby at home, so I don’t have much experience. Here’s my big question: there are a few spots where a little 1K primer is still left. Do I need to remove every last trace of it, or is a little leftover okay if it’s stable?
If you have any additional recommendations, I’d love to hear them. Thanks a bunch for the advice!
