Or it might remove itself later. I look at most pre-primed parts as rust prevention, and perhaps not very good at that.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Others simply sand and paint it. Take a good look at the parts, if there is any evidence of flaking and dirt under the coating or if it easily flakes off when scraped with a knife you better get rid of it.   [Reply]   [No Email]
