I am in the process of restoring a serias 2a and need some advice on painting/ preparation. at what stage to I use etch primer? before or after filler?
I was under the impression etch primer was only onto bare metal and not filler but a local paint shop told me to use filler then primer, before applying final coat..
Thanks for any advice
 
For cleaned-up metal I would suggest filler, then high build primer, then topcoat (x2)
For new/galvanised metal then etch primer, high build primer then topcoat (x2) :)

Depends on the metal. Bare aluminium is a sod to get paint to stick to long term.
