Wreckage King Tiger

[Shi-So]

Hi all,
I would like introduce my project: Reconstruct of old Tamiya King Tiger
I buy this wreck from one friend for very good money.
It is my first RC tank and if you see a pictures, than is clear that it will be a challenge

Many parts are paint in strange style, than I buy a decolorizer (4 bottle ), and slowly unpainted individual parts.....

I have experience with plastic model, but not much skill with mettal part.I would like ask, what you use as a base colour for
metal parts like chassis.
I have now cleaned it, and abrade it, but dont know, if I could use clasical surfacer for plastic models?
Or is better use some special? (I have in mind use Citadel Miniature undercoat spray, for Warhammer miniatures)
