I know this has been discussed before ....., but what would be the best treatment for a bodyshell after having all the paint removed ,by blasting or paint stripper etc. to stop it rusting ,until body is repaired and painted |

I believe that'd be etch primer. If you're getting it blasted have a chat to the mob and they might be able to do it for you soon after blasting too. |

if you are only wanting to spray something over it to stop it rusting, I found the best cheapest thing is the $2 pressure packs that are very often on special at a certain super auto place. I don't waste money on the special primers until all the body work is repaired and you are ready to paint the entire body. the $2 paint is easy to re-apply after you have worked on a section at a time, then easy to wipe off with thinners on a rag. |

The guy who sand blasted my mini painted it with an etch primer which was pretty robust. |

Be careful with etch primer. One product I used recently carried a warning: "This product must be overcoated with Primer Surfacer or Primer Filler as soon as possible after it is dry or product failure may occur" (Septone - of SuperCheat fame) |

And be careful of priming it as most primers will suck up moisture like a sponge. Being in toowoomba and seeing the state of the bogan limos driving around town with rust streaks weeping out from under primed spots on every panel is amazing! Hooroo |

DP 40 is a great choice. But also should consider PPG 2K Epoxy Urethane...fantastic for restos. |

Depends how long your going to leave it and where... Nearly any sort of primer will rust, if in doors and not for a great deal of time it'll do but if its outside it basically needs a undercoat or first coat... Believe me or not, I have been though it and its cheaper to get it done than too store it and have too do it all again |
