I always metal prep any bare metal. Why take a chance??? It's cheap and easy.
I have had metal preps leave a "bronzey" color behind, before.
According to the "experts", you are not supposed to use both metal prep, and self etch primer. Use one or the other.

So what you think HotRod? I did use metal prep from DP it was a 2 step deal.???
Step A metal conditioner, rust conversion and etches the metal.
Step B Steel and Galvanized refinishing system conversion coating, Leaves a zinc Phosphate coating on the metal ready for paint.
From what I have read what you want to prep rusted metal with a zinc "coating" to protect from future rust, or It protects better.
I think I might of used to much,lol. I sprayed it on the entire surface and before it could dry I rinsed with water,per insructions .Then did step B ,sprayed it on 5-10 minutes and rinsed. Only difference was instructions said wipe it on and might of went to 15 minutes,lol.Last edited by BigTruckDriver; 11-29-2007 at 05:45 PM.

I've never seen any data on it, but my guess is it has to do with the metallurgy (alloy content) of the part. Here are some splash shields from a '65 Dodge that I did after bead blasting. The two from under the fender did the "bronze" like color, the one from under the rad did more of the "blue-green" thing.

There's a tiny little run on the lower edge of the firewall on the passenger side. I'd do it all over . . .
Kidding. It looks very good. It's amazing what a little paint will do for a project, isn't it?Jack
