Deer hunter check your PM's. I sent you a message.

Years ago I used Etching primer. If you can still buy it with the EPA Regulations I don't know. On these GS's I lightly sand blasted them,wiped them down with vinegar,sprayed them with a red primer and then my camo Krylon camo paint.It hasn't peeled any ,but from use there's paint missing.It was time consuming but worth the trouble. They could use a touch up.
