Hey thats really good to know!

Im in the process of restoring my 84' camaro. Its got some minor minor surface rust issues in some places.

What do you recommend, with the following question:

Should I sand the entire vehicle down to sheet metal and apply the metal prep? Or should i just sand the rust spots/treat/and then spot primer it?

Whats better? Im prepared to do the amount of work required for the entire body sanding to metal.

well first thing u have to consider is that it is an 84, meaning if u try to sand down the whole car u might hit bondo(dent filler). i can promise u if u sand the whole car for just 1-3 rust spots, you'll end up finding out why u got it for a low price. Just sand down area(giving a 2 inch extra space) and treat.Dont forget to mask cause overspray kills.

Actually there is no bondo on the car. I bought it as a rolling chassis shell.

In short the vehicle was stored in a barn for 20 years after it got stolen and stripped.
