Poked around the car with a screwdriver lastnight and have found holes need welding, but i can get that done for nothing.

In the past the only primer i've used on stuff is like a normal grey primer, and sometimes a hi-build primer. I use the same combo on anything really.

But i want to do the corrado properly, so what would be the proper way of priming bare metal, i remember Ed talking about a new love for etch primer a few years ago, but no idea what it does etc?

basically a little guide of the layers up to paint and laquer is what i'm after, rather than just one or two coats of grey primer

also any tips for removing all the underseal stuff, its like thick rubber.

same question but for the wings, they have fuck loads of some rubber sealant holding them on, i guess slowly slicing through with a stanley knife is the best way.

don't want another wheel arch fire (old skool)

etch primer the bare meatel one coat will do,then 1 or 2 coats of high build,2 coats of paint then 2 coats of laquer.

as for the rubber stuff heat gun and a plastic scraper(or meatel)
