[DeTomaso] Painting Question???

[GW]

If you bead blasted A-arms and it didn't get all the rust, why not just 
have some one sand blast them real quick. That's what I would have done 
to begin with.

If you use rust neutralizer such as Navel Jelly be sure to go through 
the process of neutralizing it before painting over it.

This seems to be a nuetralizer for really rusty metal, but the metal might be fine by just using a regular Alkyd rusty metal primer. I've never used an etching primer like this and not sure if it gives bad results on cleaner metal when no significant rust is present. I've read that the prep and prime activates when there is rust present due to chemical reactions and actually create a chemical bond to the metal.
