you can avoid the sanding if you use a self etching primer, thats all you need, then you can other primers over that if you want, like sanding primers.

DE GREASE, SAND, and use SELF ETCHING PRIMER.
Preping the surface is the most important part
of any paint work. A failed job becomes a
complete nitemare to correct. DO IT RIGHT OR NOT
AT ALL.

degreaseing is the first & most important step...no need to grind wax & silacne into the surface,followed closely by sanding (roughing up the surface),so sealer has something to grab onto |

If you want to check out your question with some pro's visit www.autobodystore.com, and ask your question on their Board.
They have a very active board,(almost as active as this one) and it is frequented by a lot of professionals, you usually get really good advice from them.

Painters breath all those paint fumes (not good for you), bus nuts breath diesel fumes and everyone knows that diesel fumes kill only the weak brain cells, leaving us with infinite knowledge and the ability to give the best advice.

Don't know about SS, but the best body shop in our city told me to have the aluminum siding on my coach lightly sandblasted then self etch prime and finish ASAP after blasting....Aircraft remover for that part of the process. (It works fast and well)
FWIW.

Degreasing - speaking of this, what is the best solution?
On a house, you use TSP - I asked the lady at the paint dept. what to use for metal and she said vinegar. I did this for a few things and it was ok, but not entirely satisfactory. And the purple stuff seems to leave a film.
I want to rattle-can my wheels, (only FOR NOW - I know it's low-rent) and want them to be as grease-free beforehand as possible.
Thoughts? |

For glossy paints, we use TSP. It removes the grease and etches the surfaces. We get good bonding and it's easy and cheap to use.
Normally available at lumber stores.
For what it's worth.
