Jerm Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 ok.... on my eskie i have removed the plastic strips down the sides of the car.... while i was at it i bogged all the holes and small dents and shit sanded it back.... parts of it to bare metal, then i got it smooth as with 1200 grit sand paper and just coated it in grey primer....... now i have been told that driving it liek this in the wet is bad...... i was meant to put some other shit called etch onto the bear metal parts which seals it, otherwise the water getsinto it and can rust the metal....... i don't mind sanding it back and doing this but is it necisary?...should i sand it back to the metal again and seal it with something?..... anyone know much about this kind of shit??.... any help would be appreciated... cheers...
