[QUOTE="Happystamps, post: 547526, member: 14679"] You'll develop an eye for what's rotten under the paint, trust me! I wouldn't go back to bare metal in areas that obviously don't need it. If the original paint has lasted 43+ years, it's probably pretty good and painting over it will be a longer lasting solution than painting over bare metal- The quality of resprays varies quite a lot- sometimes you won't know until about a year after if you've done a really good job or a shit one :-) Find the rot, wire brush it off with a knot brush in a grinder, and make sure that you're always welding to good thick metal.
