I'm doing a complete re-build of a small sports car. I have removed the doors, hood and trunk cover, as they all need a lot of rust repair. Some of the body work I can do myself, but the more complicated welding and sheet metal will have to go out to a pro shop.
If I send out one major panel at a time, how should I handle the finish for each piece? Should I request that each piece be given only a light primer paint, and then store the pieces until I'm ready to paint the body? Also, should I remount these big parts onto the car before painting, or would I get a better and/or cheaper paint job by leaving them demounted?
Thanks,
Ed
