My 55 truck (Chevy)comes back from the blaster today. I have some minor welding to do after which I like cover with lead to fill the pin holes. I also have had to rebuild some delicate areas of the rear door post. The post where the door seal/weatherstripping would come up against when the door is closed. I'll weld in some strips and then lead the repair since it's easy to shape.

I've got some SPI epoxy primer on the way..any special precautions relative to covering the lead with paint other than the usual wipe down with the wax remover and nuetralizing the lead with vinegar?

Thanks,

Keith

When you are done with your lead work You will then clean your whole working area with a muriatic acid cleaing solution and a scrub brush doing a super job of cleaning all acid residue from the body. You can then wash surface with soap and water also.You have to be absolutely sure that you removed all of the tinning flux from all of the affected surfaces and any pits left in the lead.Otherwise anywhere from 2 to 10 years you will get a surface bubble in your painted surface where there was a small amount of flux left from the tinning operation.
