Actually, I have not dropped by here in a real long time. Just happened to catch your posts, and I am a fan of the 53-56 having spent many of my younger years in one. In those days, there was no...

Fifty Three was a particularly unique year. It was the only year with the flathead. In 54, they had the Y block.

For what you want to do, and for the effort you are contemplating, I wonder if...

Could you post the link to the post done by the son of Eaton?

I am looking to repaint some metal interior trim pieces on an early sixties Ford. The original paint is a semi gloss lacquer. I can get it in Acrylic lacquer, or enamel. The originals give the...

Strippable booth paint?

What good is it if epoxy does not like it?

I bought the TP out of frustration. The price was just over ok, the freight hurt. But they had a sale, and I was tired of using cardboard boxes. The thing that pushed me over the edge was they...

Yup, last worse option. I would have taken it to the local stripper, but I just did not have the time, two weeks tank time, and it was a bit pricey, but it might have been the cheapest thing.

1962 Thunderbird paint, covered with base/clear of some unknown pedigree. I just spent an hour with the pressure washer and have much of the overcoat off. I will recoat with more stripper and blast...

This is what I am using.

I am in the middle of stripping some paint and Aircraft Coatings Remover from Autozone seems to not be working too well. Anybody know of something better? Thanks for your help

Thanks Phil. I was hoping that I might have a little more leeway that with a single stage urethane.

After mixing up some acrylic enamel, and adding the hardener, how soon do I have to spray it? Can it wait a couple of days?

What do you mean by red oxide primer? Are you painting over an old lacquer primer?

For me it was the Schwinn Corvette. My kids can't decide between a BMW and an Audi. Times change. Sorry I can't help you with your technical questions.

Pro, efficiency

Con, cost.

Conclusion, well worth the cost.

Check to be sure that the pully is securely fastened to the shaft. When the set screw gets loose, all kinds of funny things happen.

The old lead has to go. Most will not consider reusing it now a days. For many good reasons. I most likely would reuse it because it is prety near impossible to get al of the lead off the original...

To duplicate your hood in fiberglass, finish the hood youhave as perfect as you can. Every imperfection that is in the hood when you take a splash off it will show up in the new part. Once your...

Robert, how do you rconcile that methodology with 1500 finishing film and an airvantage?

Brain burp.

Apologies.

mucho elbow grease.

Time to lock this one away.

Well fortunately, you do not decide who posts what here.

I would suggest that embarrassment is in the eye of the beholder.

PS: You are getting better, only six that time.

Five thousand bucks for a helmet? :D

Nope, only eleven in your last post.

You are right, we are on different wavelengths.

I do not normally scan a message either, just once in awhile when the circumstances are unique.

Please...

Yeah Phil, I often get your kind of a response whenever I post like that. There are those who will merely sit back and say nothing, and those who will point certain things out. You seem to be...

I don't know Grainger's price either, but thirty years ago it was about the only game in town. Grainger has not been much of an advantage in some time. They do offer some pretty good discounts to...

Are you ready to make a recommendation on the mini polisher? There is one in my future.

Len is too subdued.

I do not care if your DA is brand new. Keep it as a family heirloom if you wish, but get the aivantage if you want to get the job done. The price is really miniscule.

Some things can never be too big. A compressor is one of them. The crapola compressors are about $300 in the big box stores. Sears has a closeout every month, and a new model to match. If that is...

Ah, what's the big deal. Folks ask about other vendors all the time. They still get the straight scoop here.

I will argue that the IR 231 is the best of the best of any half inch impact ever made by anybody. I have used dozens of different impacts over the years. I got my 231 in the late seventies. Beat...

It is not possible to convince one's own son about anything. No problemo with the neighbor's kids though.

Usually I get flamed when I do a post like that. So thanks for the support.

If it is what I think it is, don't do it.

My understanding of soda blasting is that it is a wet process. Works well and is popular for blasting bridges and lines off the road. Water clean up and...

Let me give you some other help. Look at what you wrote, and compare it to the answers that you got. See the difference? Does the prose inspire confidence? If you intend to make this line of work...

I'm glad somebody mentioned the fire hazzard.

Nothing wrong with storing paints at low temps, but a characteristic of urethanes and epoxies is that they can crystalize. This is essentually...

Which clearly is much better, and if we are going to have sub catagories, how about one for tools and equipment.

In the alternatives, perhaps ther could be a basicsor something where evrybody's...
