Hi all

Discussion in 'Introduce Yourselves' started by Niall, Nov 13, 2014.

  1. Howdy folks,

    Brand new to the forum. I have a RHD 79 bay panel van in need of a lot of attention so you will be hearing a lot from me over the next year or so no doubt.
    I restored a 79 panel about 10 years ago but someone else did most of the work. This time, I feel brave (stupid??) enough to tackle a lot of it myself.
    I'm going to start cutting and welding very soon and I have a question about treating the welds as I go with a primer. It has been glass blasted and primer applied so I would like to maintain the protection as I go.
    Can anyone recommend a good spray or brush on product to protect the metal after I weld?
    If you prefer I can ask this in a completely different thread as this is the intro section?

    here is a photo of the bus after blasting..
    thanks,
    Niall.
