I Work at a body shop and i been working on it sence i was born .and i working on my 64 right now and at first it look like surface rust but i started to sand it and i started getting deeper and deeper and before i new it i found out that that car had a lot of bodo that was breaking and was not shapped right but they just painted on top of it . so i would say sand blast the whole car if u want your ride clean. see i short on money right now so what i did i baught this liquid you put on top of the paint its like acid and all you do is scrach it off. it will take along time to take it off and watch out cuz that thang burns like moda f**cka.but i did it to my car because then your car will have big ass waves and look sloopy.

number 1 if u have bubbles and its factory paint its a sure sighn that under that paint there is alot of surface rust.bad as i hate to say it but on older 60s and 70s cars,usually a complete strip with a gallon of aircraft stripper is best(but a mess)or get it soda blasted somewhere(usually very expensive)if it were me id rent a sand blaster from teds rental and goto town(bout 100 bucks)but make sure your engine is plugged and wrapped in plastic and an old blanket(unless u want sand in it) thats my 2 cents lol hope it helps.......ps under normal situations with no rust painting over the stock paint is best,primer sucks up paint and tends to peel if u dont make sure to tack the car like 10 times lol......pss make sure if u media blast it to get right on it cause rust forms in metal almost overnight even if u cant see it,well unless u have some sulferic acid to spray on it(u can get it at napa)

how much time would primer/paint take to dry if not using an oven

[DRLOWZ]

Thats going to depend on temp outside.

between 90 and 100 degrees with heat index
