Water allow or not allowed when repaint

[markus_74]

Dear, Zoner

I'm now strip my old paint with paint remover and my friend told Me before that after this process, the bare metal should not be contact with water, because the water will fill the metal micro hole although we have dry it and after a few year the rust will be growth there.

Is it true or not?

Thanks
Markus

true

even the grease from your fingers could make the panels rust if they are not in primer

yep this is true. also let the primer get wet as it is porus. if your going to leave it outside put a topcoat of watever you have around to keep it sealed.

exactly if your keeping it garaged primer should be fine if it's outside top coat the primer acts like a sponge
