lincoln for sure. century was bought by lincoln so century is now a knock-off of lincoln. what i have always used is a 175 mig lincoln. can't compare to the others that you mentioned, but by...

i'm with ya on that GT,

i have to give some kind of incentative cause i'm not a DRP, and don't care to be, once the customer is paid they can come to me to get their car fixed at a better deal...

write it up as a referal incentative, with a 1099 to the customer. what would be wrong with that? it wouldn't be a rebate then only a bonus to the customer for using your shop.

len,

the problem is that this car has an upper and lower cowl, the lower cowl being welded to the firewall then the upper welded over, i still yet to figure out a way to seam seal this upper...

yep, dark grey or black for best coverage.

once the upper cowl is welded into place, you don't have access to the seam. actually you can modify the lower cowl so that it doesn't hold water( a little pitch added when you rebuild it)the...

isn't so much the speed that kills, its actually that damned sudden stop.

Bulldog Adhesion Promoter is made for chrome also.

got a feeling that some have more invested in filler than parts and materials.

excellent primer gun

bulldog will make paint adhere to just about anything.

i wouldn't use filler to fill holes, i'd either braze them or cut out and replace. the latter being the correct and most permanent fix.

the evercoat putty you have described is ok for very minor bodywork as i have seen many people use it as such, i only use it for pinholes and sand scratches though.

if it were mine, i'd pull out the damage as GT said, but if it were customer work, i'd cut out and replace.( it will be quicker to replace)

or just ground it to a ground rod. this keeps all static charges neg.- other words while your spraying the air over the surface will create static and if the car is grounded, the static will go to...

yep, guidecoat is the sure way, but sometimes i wet the area with w/g remover and look at the panel while its wet.

this is the reason why over two paintjobs on a car isn't recommended, cracking due to paint shrinkage.

i never thought of that extra 25 doing damage till you mentioned it, good point though.... after i cut down the pressure on mine tomarrow maybe i'll add a couple more years to its service life as...

if it calls for 10 within 50, i usually go with 8 or even 6 within 50 just for the added assurance.just a thought if your having to buy the wire as it will only cost a few more dollars, well worth...

id for sure repair, if the metal is straightened properly there will not be that much filler on it.

Nason IS warranteed, ask your dupont rep.

take the reg off the gun and hook up the air hose, try to adjust it with air just blowing through and see how high you can get it to adjust to. if you still have the same prob with it not adjusting...

this is an example of bottlenecking, in other words- somewhere between the compressor and gun there is something restricting the air flow. i have seen a few small regs that would do this.

def. a temp prob.

i have used clear to blend, but only when blending ss into ss. this is the only way i know of to blend ss.

i'm the one that wrote that, and only used acetone to thin cause it was formulated in the mix already, so why not add a little more to thin? strongly suggest as len said, check the tech sheet on the...

it builds about the same, but sands a little easier

i like slicksand and was a strong believer in it until it was discused here a couple of weeks ago and found out it wasn't suppose to be used over bare metal of any size, so that kinda put it out as i...

65. for gallon of primer and quart of activator. feller said it was a limited time offer with free shipping. i use the 2.2 tip in my finishline 3 and reduce it a little with acetone.(even though it...

good deal on tamco DTM primer at 65. gallon kit price. call 800-678-1533 or tamcopaint.com. all i've tried was the DTM primer and it is very comparable to slicksand as far as build and ease of...

rhino= indasa

with the right materials, what you need is "Bulldog Adhesion Promoter". it works for alot of different substrates like crome,aluminum,plastic,galvanized.........

which evaporates quicker- acetone or mek?

it must have been humid when you sprayed, they say that blushing is a thing of the past and urathane doesn't blush, but i have had it blush before but only when i was using black, it probably did...

i always use 90 at the wall and reg it at my gun.

if you think a unibody can't get diamonded, you evidentally haven't fixed any hard hit vehicles. i've ran across several that were diamonded, the ones that are hit into any corner hard will be...

according to where you are, how far you are from the power distrubution station. wire loses voltage according to how far its carried.

i'd say it would take a couple of weeks and around 5-6 grand. (3/4 front end and alot of frame time as the car is probably diamonded)

you can have "residential" 3 phase installed, but the power company will charge a set fee for the third "bastard" leg. i'm in agreement that sticking with single phase is the best way to go if you're...

you defintly need to lighten up on the wetness of your coats,your problem is the metallic is settling ,causing it to appear dark.

Yep, the 497-00, thats good clear.

ful-thane is the best you'll find, and its garenteed to shine like new for two years with normal washing. ms is junk. don't know about the rest, hope this helps

every possibility was covered except one------ was your paint mixed well? this will cause all the problems that were pointed out.

5 % is the same as 20:1.

i use cheap vinyl, cut it myself on the plotter/cutter. cheapest this way and get exactly what i want EVERY time,lol

you can use bc/cc, but it won't look very good unless you straighten the hull. if you don't , you'll see the fiberglass cloth through the paint. if i ever do another one, it'll be flattened paint, no...

the problem most likely is under the basecoat. i would take it back down to a smooth surface then more base, then clear. you cannot sand base without recoating it with more base before clear.

i would take the fellers advice about the time limit( if you can wait). hes not just telling you that to be talking, after all, why should he tell you that just to have to wait to make his money?

if u are using it for auto work only, you need to stick with what you already have( if its already set up with gas--MIG). save the 800 to spend on something else.
