  3. The worst thing about stripping a car to bare metal is,

    finding all of the dents, dings, rust and other wonderful hidden goodies that didn't look nearly as bad when you went to purchase the once in a lifetime deal. I wanted to take this car for all of...
  4. Is Epoxy the only primer to use over Picklex?

    I am de-rusting and painting the inside roof of my Fairlane. It will be hidden under the headliner so I'm not worried about a show quality finish but I do want to be sure there is no more rusting. ...

  8. What are the pros and cons of soda blasting?

    I am thinking about this for my 66 Fairlane. Does anyone know about what this process costs? I was going to do the chem-strip but I have heard too many, not so good things about that process. ...
  9. The hardener does have some age

    but I've used this hardener within the last month or so without problems. Does it go "bad" that quickly? I noticed this morning that the finish is finally beginning to harden.

    So...how much does it cost to paint a car?

    I know, that is a loaded question and can vary a ton from shop to shop and area to area but I am hoping for a good ballpark from you guys. My car is down to the metal so it will require priming. ...
