What I have is a 84 Chevy Camaro, it appears to have been repainted over the factory paint, ( single stage layers) and its starting to peel, last year I tried to fix a few small spots, did the feather blend of the areas, and did the degrease/wax remover cleaning step both, before starting and after, then used duplicolor rattle can to spot paint, what is happening is the original paint is peeling from the primer base (has a light green hue, sorta like the etch primer) and now the spot repairs are flaking off as well. and more oem paint is peeling elsewhere, in bigger spots
The oem paint that has began to flake, can be removed just by using regular water hose/sprayer pressure. So I am wanting to sand the entire car down. and start from scratch.
From my searching the net, have made this game plan:
1~ fix major dents by hammer/dolly them out
2~sand to bare metal and prime with epoxy dtm 2k
3~ do all necessary body repairs (dings/small dents) on top of epoxy primer
4~ re-prime with epoxy then seal
5~ prime with a 2k urethane and block sand out
6~ lay down my bc/cc
My color choices are going with a black epoxy primer,after body work, sealer, then either a black or gray urethane 2k primer, and for the bc color of a midnight blue metallic, and in the 1st layer of clear use a touch of blue pearl powder, (to make it pop in the different lighting conditions), then another 2/3 coats of clear.
I know this sounds like being overboard, but the car is mostly rust free, and I plan on keeping it for along time.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks Ron
