Hi guys,

in the process of restoring our GQ, just seeing if anyone has used other types of paint?

So yea_ strip it out.
Heavy degreaser onto it. Hot high pressure would be tops.
Rub down with thinners.
A good prime
And then paint.
If your doing large areas gun will be cheaper than can..

Also while it's apart pay special attention to the seams.
I'd be apply a rust converter and sealer to them for long jeverty
