Howdy all: OK, here's the deal: My '62 BT-7 is very close to being where I want it mechanically, so my attention is shifting now to the body. I don't want to sink the money into a restoration-quality paint job this year; maybe next year or thereafter so my plan is to polish up what I have. I'm familiar with polishing compounds, sealer, wax, etc. Questions: I have some minor scrapes that have gone down to the base metal and have a <span style="font-style: italic">light </span>amount of surface rust. More a patina of rust vs. an eaten-into corrosive rust. My plan is to do a hand wet sand of the scrapes and then paint, but in what order? Sand, prime, touch up paint? Or use a "stripper," ie solution that takes off old wax, then a clay bar/polishing compound, then sand/prime/paint? What's the best sequence? Finally, anyone know of the best touch up paints & primers? I just want the best possible result for the least outlay of $$ for this year. I can spring for a primo paint job later but if I sink more money into the car this year my domestic bliss could be jeopardized. Any tips would be most appreciated, many thanks,
-Tom
