painted my 73 Charger

[chargerscott]

my dad paint and did the body work for me ( i had no time). i think he is losing his eyesite. i had him repair what was under the vinyl top (it was a mess) and he didn't do that great of a job. i stripped the top again (bare metal) epoxy primerd it and now it is coming off.  what do i need to do to bare metal for primer to stick? please help. he painted the car with lacquor, how can i strip this car... i love my Dad but i need help.....please help. i have a baby one the way and my wife is about to shot me.

what kind of primer should i use?

Self Etching Wash Primer I'd say, Others might say Epoxy Primer. LEON.

You need to use an etching primer on bare metal before priming. SEM makes a great product and you can even get it in a spray can. Check your local paint supply store.

when you use a self etch primer, can bondo stick to it? or do you have to sand it off and apply bondo to the bad spot?

clean the metal, repair the damage with filler if needed and then spray the primer on top of that.
