I have a question regarding stripping back and protecting bodywork in lieu of welding work, question being, if you have a car that needs a fair bit of welding, repair panels fitting etc, and wanted to strip back the old paint on the entire car before doing any metal repairs, largely to see what we have , find any filled /hidden rot, suspecting the car is likely to sit around for a while before welding commences, what would you do to prevent rust setting in where bare metal is exposed? would you coat it with weld thru or etch primer before getting to the welding, and general bodywork repairs? cheers, Mark
