a guy i work with says that the best thing to do after stripping old paint and bondo down to the bare metal is to rub it down with vinegar and then use a primer called k201. anybody ever hear of doing that?

thanks

No, but if (k201) is a form of epoxy primer then it is the only way to go on bare metal preparation for two pack primer!!!!!

Vineger is probably a cheap form of wax and grease remover???? But as I said above use an Epoxy primer first...on Bare metal......

You want to look for a "self-etching" epoxy primer for painting bare metal. The etching component will prepare the metal surface for maximum adhesion....and the epoxy part means that it won't absorb moisture (leading to rust) the way regular primers can. Just my $.02 Dickson

I would do all of the heavy bondo work on the bare metal and then spray the epoxy primmer.
