Thread: Side Sills? I think that's what they're called.

OK Jose, did you remove the original finish and prime the metal? I believe they anodized aluminum and nothing good usually happens if you paint over that. I suggest sanding everything off the face of the panel and using a proper primer this time if it wasn't done the first time.

Let's go sentence by sentence.

1. I'm not Jose, but thank you because my name is Spanish sounds very much like Heiney (my name is James)
2. Who exactly is it that anodized aluminum and who is this they everyone talks about?
3. This is autobody 101: get down to the metal, make sure it's all clean and properly prep the surface including primer. Thanks, I didn't ask, but this might help someone else.

IDJ, Hero thinks he knows what he is doing, and the proof is in his work. You best leave him alone with all your wizdom! LOL

You called me Holmes. You don't know me. Insert the word "are" in the sentence with anodized in it, after "they". I left a word out.
