OLD Ford Rust is there
Henry
I'm taking the rust and old primer off my truck via sanding with a random orbital sander. There are a million little areas like little ding marks that still have spots of rust in them. Is an etch primer good enough or should I treat it with something?
There are some big areas like the rear fenders that were covered in rust. These I lightly ground down with a 3m pad , dusted the debrie off, washed off, then applied one step from mar-hyde which converts rust to black primer.
This process won't work fo the mostly bare metal with rust dots though. I'm looking for something I can apply and primer over the same day. Any ideas?
When I'm done it still will be 6months - year before the finish painting can happen. So on that note any primer that with prevent new rust? Thanks, Steve." "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Any good Epoxy Primer/sealer will work fine. I would apply 2 or 3 coats at the most. A good source is http://www.kirkerautomotive.com/html/our_products.html
