james750 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Almost done with the MJ resurrection. I just picked up some new fenders from certifit today and they came with a black painted/prepped surface. Does the black surface mean that it is ready for paint, or do I need to sand/prime the surface still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtdesigns Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yeah and don't let those panels sit outside forever that primer is only like a mil and it only takes about a week for it to remove itself for surface rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garmj Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Sand thoroughly,prime, sand then paint. The black stuff is EDP (electro dip primer) but regular primer sticks to it much better than paint. If you just sand and paint you will have adhesion issues or rust issues later. BTDT :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't scuff throughly or primer with regular primer you will have adhesion issue's, chips will show through to black paint below, etc. Personally I would scuff them well, and then spray them with some primer, thats your best bet for getting a good adhesion.
