I have a lot of surface rust on my Galaxie which is possibly a new variable in all this stuff. I would expect to sand the surface rust down to bare metal and smooth sand the rest with 320 grit. I was planning to use brightside for it's possibly glossier finish and probable ease of use. Now I am thinking that I should maybe go with Rustoleum for it's certain ability to seal the rust despite it's being a little tougher to use and maybe not being as easy to buff glossy? Or do I use a phosphoric acid base rust sealer and prime any bare metal and go with the brightside anyway?
I agree that patience is the best way to approach this process and it begins with thoroughly reading this thread and learning what previous rollers have experienced. But man I want to get my car in paint!
