    90 defender rebuild

    Thanks! Today I got in touch with 2 european autocolor companies Technical Assistance here in Greece. Both told me that in this case I should not use etch due to the fact that etch primer does not really goes through old paint or primers. For this application a 2 component epoxy primer should be...

I'm in the beggining of respraying mine + rebuilding the hard top and I have couple of questions: -some parts you sanded to bare metal while others not. when you applied etch on the partialy bare, did you have any problems at the areas that were still having old paint/primers...

In new engines & gearboxes this means less consumption. In...
