June 22nd, 2011 - Working on the Ceiling, Cowl and Driver-Side
Floor...Having a car sitting in white primer for a few months has its
benefits sometimes. The cowl area where the wiper transmission arms are
located had been cleaned and coated with primer last year. Last month,
I noticed some small rust spots in the primer. I ended up grinding the
area down and revealed a large rust spot. After hitting the area with
the die grinder with a 80 grit disc and Purple Power Rust Remover, it
was ready for a new coat of primer the next day.    | ||
The
same thing then happened with the drivers-side rear floor. This time
there were small rust bubbles UNDER the factory e-coat. They had
probably been there since the panel was stamped, and just now broke
through to the surface. Again, the remedy was more 80 grit and Rust
Remover and it was ready for etching primer this time.  | ||

next item on the list was the interior ceiling. The headliner had been
removed a while back, but the heavy glue still remained. I knew that my
oscillating multifunction tool would cut the glue loose, but I was
worried about any damage that may happen, and show through to the
outside of the roof, requiring more body work. Luckily, there were no issues. I sanded down the entire area with 200 grit on the DA and gave the bare metal areas a coat of etching primer.   | ||
