I appreciate your support guys. This site is probably the best most informative on the web. You guys inspired me to do it right. But when I quote people for the work and discount as humanly as...

Reason I give people a hard time with this is it cuts into a good painter reputability. You have guys on youtube showing how to make a car look good for 50 dollars. I know it doesnt look good but to...

JUST FYI12023

Flex addititve though.

See how popular this is becoming Len. Its just disgusting to me. Youtube seems to crop up all types of nut paint jobs. I just think its sad trying to devalue the real thing and right way as you...

Problem solved, just as I thought. They show the coatings from beginning to end on the Harley tanks for hard candy. Its just as I thought they were. Tank has an e-coat followed by base coat- vivid...

True, I hope most people use this stuff for topcoat out of being poor, not trying to prove they can get a better result than lets say acrylic enamel. I see lots of u-tubers trying to prove how good...

There is alot more people out there that want their cars painted. They think of all sorts of ways to do that. They use rustoleum, trem clad, oil based enamels, tractor paint, spray bomb , latex, any...

It does for an inhibitor. I just dont like the idea that it looks good rollered on as a topcoat, I think it not only looks horrific, but it undermines people who want to do it right:yikes. I never...

Why do people paint with this stuff and what will happen to it from the UV rays. I thought people had better sense?:gloomy: Also what is this stuff used for anyway?

That might have caused an issue, but I shot it at about early evening when it was down to about 70+ deg. The HSC I bought cost 40 clear + 20 activator. Real Crap, Lays fine but just seemed thin as it...

I am just saying that recently ive used a clear that was sooo thin in the way it went on that after it setups about 1 hr after spraying, it looks sooo thin in some spots it looks like dry spray. Just...

I just heard this from someone who paints. Just learning this problem, but its new to me. What are the problems with cheap clear(s). I bought Kirker clear before and had a yellowing problem. It had a...

My buddy who has a welder doesnt live in the state. I live in pa, philadelphia area. That is a thought, I do know people parting out their z's, Sometimes I think the best thing to do is cut off that...

I am in the z forum as far as getting this car up and running right. This car was owned by a body shop owner in bucks county pa. He had it for years, he was working on a nissan murano at home and...

i appreciate all your help guys. Its just a little frightening to me to grab that cut wheel and go to town when I dont have a welder, I know how to but never did. I did plenty of propane soldering in...

It is , but im afraid he doesnt know the extent of all the rust. I wouldnt bother with the body in this shape, but only 1 thing keeps making me try to fix this wreck. Its that one thing that is on...

I was only going to use picklex on the surface rust where its pitted but the steel is very strong. Steel is unusually strong right past where i popped it through with the poker hammer. Buying a donor...

I am trying to determine how to attack the rust on the car. So far,,kind of frightening just how many hidden spots this car has. Finding surface rust all over. Took out the rear lights and saw just a...

Yes :goof:

But you nailed it. I could say that a HF gun is the best in the world and there is no...

I have been getting into flipping cars,,but for the moment i just do work on my own 4 vehicles. Ones a major PIA restore project. I did an overall a few times on the CRX i have, and i have a small...

Henry,

I think what he is asking is for time invested by maaco , even with crew of maybe 2 or 3 masking and scuffing entire vehicle and enamel paint, which last time i checked is still 4:1:2...

I'm on the border of whether or not I want to buy one of those 4500 xtremes. I already have the tekna copper, I am not sure the difference is worth the price ..hmmmm

Just trying to get a general idea. The underneath unibody is first covered in Ziebart and the small frame rails underneath are rotted through. But the floors even...

Its funny, when my nephew went to get the formula, they said they dont give it out. It didnt look like candy, although I work with HOK alot. Never used Metajuhls though. Shot with Brandywine Kandy,...

Well, I bought the 2.2 tip for my fl3 primer gun. Hopefully it wont interfere with priming. I am hoping it doesnt clog, I guess what ill do is lay black basecoat down, then tack the surface with...

Also I kind of wonder, doesnt a blow gun as sold on TCP just blow the flake on. I am assuming that the flake would not look even or spread out,,just clumped on. I dont like that look. I say a demo on...

I love the nason clear,,i think its 796-00 ,flow out is awesome. But, longevity is not real good. It does fade rather quick. I did my old girlfriends honda with it. Within 2 yrs I had to redo a front...

My nephew just wants his new tank to match the bike. If you look at the 2012 sportsters youll see that black base with red flake. They seem to show a blow type gun to actually blow the flake on. Its...

Just a general question here. I have my 1.3-1.4 tips for my tekna gun. If I want to spray large flake mixed in the clear, do I need the 1.8 - 2.2mm tips for it. And just for kicks, do they actually...

I use both regularly. Even though most on here dont like chromabase , I do. I find it covers quickly and adequately. Nason is cheaper,,but in the long run you only save about 20$ and I'm not sure its...

It is , but be prepared for a lot of nit picking assholes who would look at your overall , see maybe 2 or 3 nibs and freak. There are lots of them, probably 30-50% who dont understand what it takes...

I was just warning you ahead of time. There are alot of people,,especially online or youtube that complain majorly out loud for just the slightest imperfection with MAACO paint jobs. Imagine getting...

Just FYI on your new endeavor, you are talking about 16hrs of work by yourself taking off things, bodywork, dings and what not. Also masking prep, the works, with supplies. Dont forget , just because...

Henry is right even from what I see. I am not a total bodyman yet. That rear quarter, frame damaged trunk bay, trunk hatch is shifted, suspension on rear wheel is screwed. Only thing I see cheap...

Len,
Do you really think it is worth getting a sagola 4500 xtreme? Not sure it is that much of a bump up from my tekna copper. Do you think it is worth the money to put into another gun? I saw the...

You can do it ,,its just not smart. I have a 60gal IR compressor and that struggles painting my little CRX. The moiture you will build up with that smallish tank will be ungodly. Not a good idea. I...

so what happens if you want to walk back to your car instead of the pickup option? -- she just walks back to it, no problem. I am sure it is gps located with that software.

what about parking...

Im still waiting for mine to fold up into a briefcase like the jetsons :goof:. Then again , I am not really amazed by technology as alot of people may be. Maybe because that is my real job. Its just...

Just a general question for u experts. I have the HAR602 devillbiss filter on my 60 gal compressor. Is it a good idea to purchase a different/better filter for reducing dust and dirt particles in my...

You probably never see them in their true light until you apply them and see them in the sunlight. Just on my terminals here one looks lighter and duller than the other..lol. They also tell you, you...

I love some of dupont's hot hues,,gonna pick up some soon. Check their hot hues out,,really wild colors. I like some of the pastel with a bit of metallic look.
...

Also I bought a gallon of HSC,, seems ok,,maybe a little thin. about 65 with activator. Is that the Finish 1,,if so,, I get to get me some of that. My buddy at his shop sprays that. I like to be a...

My supplier sells house brand clear/ zolatone clear coat 1 gallon + quart activator mixed 4:1 for about 86 without tax.:)

I also get my PPG from this guy

Does anyone know where I could buy Sherwin Williams base from an autobody paint seller. I am in the Philadelphia area and so far only found people who sell dupont or PPG primarily. I was told that...

By the way blacked out wheels and 22in rims are real popular with the pimps and drug dealers...:raspberry:

Do you really want to fit in with your teenage friends...thats kind of creepy.

You should,,go to Unique whips and watch that whigger show..you should run it. Get yaself some 22's and get a system..lower it to the ground. Get ya selves some stickers and some cuztom riiimmmms. ...
