What is the best way to preserve my rusty ol'truck before I can start
working on it?
I'd like to be able to blast/hammer/sand/prime a fender at a time, but I'm
afraid that I would actually accelerate the decay if I don't actually apply
paint. Would it be sufficient to use an aerosol can of primer to cover any
exposed metal (realizing that I would completely re-sand and re-prime when
I went to paint it for real.)
Primer really isn't intended for exposure to elements...that's why we have
paint, right?
I know aerosol cans are expensive, but so is the amount of paint I'd waste
cleaning the gun after only painting one fender.
Any other suggestions? What has everyone else done?
