Thank you guys, I do appreciate all the advice. I’ve had years of turning the wrench, I’m just not a painter.
Post was washing to neutralize, it only stripped it to the E-coat, finished off with a fiber wheel. It’s been sitting in the garage for over a year in bare metal, no rust showing so far.
Nothing more than disassembly, and keeping it away from any seams, I used it on the outside bed of the truck, then went to fiber wheel after that mess. Cab, hood, front fenders, and door have all been fiber wheel, then finished with 80 grit on a da. Fiber wheel would melt leaving plastic stuck to the bare metal.
Excellent.
Soda blasting was my first pick, however they had went out of business before I had a chance to use them, I used aircraft stripper and a fiber wheel. I have been searching for another paint guy, the one I had lined up has to many irons in the fire. He does work, just very busy with all his non body shop projects.
Sorry, My paint guy. He uses ppg product and requested I use a ppg primer after I stripped the trucks body. I went to the local ppg store and they recommended dp60, soooo after I bought the primer the painter said I would have paint release problems using an epoxy on bare metal. So I’m kind of stuck at a loss.
