Jaguar Mk2 - Stage 4 - Stripping and Priming

Stripping Stage

Referring to the gallery below, in this stage the rusted sills have been opened up, grime and body Schutz removed, and the paint stripped from the body by hand (not shown) and by low pressure blasting. This reveals the extent of rust, and in this case of this car, several existing fatique cracks.

 

Priming Stage

In as short a time as possible after the bare metal has been exposed through paint, schutz and filler being removed, the bodyshell's bare metal is coated with a two-pack epoxy primer to prevent flash rusting.
