I used to paint fiberglass kit cars with materials supplied by the company..PPG K-38...i then used Omni 282 on my own cars and they mix,smell,spray ,build..sand..everything,to me identical.

If you can keep the surface area,primer and air over 70 then I'd highly recommend Claussen ALL U NEED polyester primer.

If you have a butt weld panel tight..you will warp it.There has to be a slight gap for the weld to penetrate and "sit" in. If the panels are touching,you will have a bulge once you weld.I like to get...

I tried painting pearl white on an 04 Maxima front and rear bumpers only previously and I used the old bumper for a test panel.I masked it off with 2 inch tape,2 inches apart from each stripe of tape...

You use Glasurit and you don't have a variant deck?

320 dry or 400 wet will be fine with epoxy sealer.

Prior? You dont sand bascoat before clear

Oh,another thing I like to do ,skirting around a car.But i use 1.5 or 2 inch tape and backtape with the sticky hanging off over the tire,and stick paper to it,with a wheel cover.Nothing like nasty...

I like the masking job.I wouldn't take those lights out either.You know how hard it is to backtape,and get paper to bend and stick to the insides of dirty fenders around edges etc.You can do alot of...

I can see why...yuck..thats nasty.:goof:

This is from your basics of basics...
How do they not have a clear build up inside,and not even base overspray all under neath the panels? Is our clears that we use thicker?

All I can say is,nice work..and you are THE MAN.I turned away a stang like that once just because i know he didn't have the money,and second,I didn't want the job. Too much for me to handle and my...

If he puts epoxy only..100 bucks says he has a ring show up later once everything is cured.most tech sheets say if its quarter size,2k is fine,if bare metal is larger,then pretreat it.Id 2k it and...

Prime,sand ,then reprime and put some heat on it or in the sun a while,you shouldnt have a problem.

Funny ad....you have no idea how much some politicians would love that to happen and givin half the chance..would.

One way they can enforce it ,is in the supply line.My paint supplier informed me that he can't sell paint as of Jan 1 to anyone unless they show him a certification slip by the state.I'm sure that...

I just took the test to be certified..even tho I will be put out of business because of the overhead costs to be compliant.I was invited by another shop.Thank You MR and MRs congressman that voted...

Actually it can,and has.I have proof,unfortunately.Painted a Chevelle at different times and used a different tinted sealer on the rear half.The Under 4 heavy coats of PPG DBU Hugger Orange,the back...

Try the thin 3m green tape.I never use fine line anymore.

i've always wondered what primer mixed with a little clear coat would do.

Another problem with those year chevy gmc trucks is the hood /fender gap up front.you can ream all the holes you want,but the fenders rests against ths rad support.It will only go so far.I will...

Why not use something like Bulldog adhesion proomoter..followed by clear base..followed by laquer?

I have been trying marhyde Ultimate 2k and so far i love how it builds and sands.75 ish a gallon set up..Ppg is rediculous in its prices.

Thanks guys..i just didnt want my work busting open like the last person.They had dug out lead and just put plastic over the holes and seam.Phil,the aear below the glass that looks like rust is...

Sorry ,I meant to leave the image.it only has a few factory spot welds. Should it be welded solid?
If fiberglass and all metal are basically the same..particals among polyester...why fiberglass over...
