It's amazon how good these cars look even if it needs paint (not that it needs it). Classic looking car. Thanks!

I did a rig 12 years ago in primer, used PPG DP90 epoxy primer, as I was told it wouldn't rust, and I wanted the black primer look on that rig. It rusted! I had to take it down to bare metal and really do it right when I repainted it with a finish color. On my gasser I'm leaving in in "patina" for now, but later will paint it primer looking, but will use a nice gray that looks the same and flatten it with additives or spray a flattened clear over it. Tired of the rust, so just wanted to alert you to the problems I've run into using just primer. You might want to think about a flat finish coat to eliminate some of the problems I've run into.
Aloha,
Willy
