Prep work for painting

[Larry" <rocco16v@netzero.com (Larry)]

The auto paint store will know what you are talking about, just ask for
metal prep (Metl-Prep?).  it removes rust and etches the steel's surface.
This is not the same stuff as that which turns rust black.  That is a
'conversion coating'.  It will work, but the metal prep is simpler and
quicker.
