Finished bead blasting my gauge cluster, column cover, etc.
Never painted pot metal, but these parts were painted from the factory, so I'm thinking no special process or materials? While blasting I removed a coat of color and didn't see any evidence of primer.
I've never tried epoxy primer, and don't know if there is any advantage with these parts?
I was thinking wipe the parts with lacquer thinner, spray some heavy build primer (to fill in the pits, etc.) sand smooth, re-prime as required, then apply topcoat (probably a basecoat/clearcoat).
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
