Hello people...
Once we get all the suspension done on my bro's 69 C10, he want's to primer it black since the orginal paint is looking pretty bad. He doesn't have too much money, so getting it actually painted to the way he wants it is out of the question. I convinced him to just paint it a flat black instead of a primer since it may be a couple of years before it sees an actual paint job. Is this ok?
Also, would just scuffing the paint and spraying it be ok? Or would that cause headaches later on down the road?
He mainly just wants it one color and to look like a working process. So any suggestion are welcome. Thanks in advance!
