Default Re: Strip or Sand old paint

Well in 60/61 it's either lacquer or enamel. I know you hate to hear it again but down to bare metal is THE ONLY way to go.

To test: use lacquer thinner on a rag. Rub a hidden spot. If it comes off fast or wrinkles like stripper, it's enamel. If it just stains the rag with paint color, it's lacquer.

It is possible, if a layer is tight to the truck, that you could find an epoxy primer that will cover and seal. Must ask the epoxy vendor once you determine if it's lacquer or enamel.
