One of the many reasons that I Prefer "the sticks"

There are most certainly some very good ideas in this thread. But, if it was me I would drape a large, cheap, blue tarp over my driveway and push the Ranchero out there (onto the tarp) and with the...

That looks good! What ratio color to clear do you use? I have some old tail light lenses I think I will start experimenting with. I have a black truck that I would like to do the tail lights on. Any...

got it. just wasn't trying hard enough.

Can someone tell me how to get the bottom of the back seat out? One of the back doors won't open and I need to get the seat out in order to remove the door pannel. On old cars you push down, back and...

Cabbage...sorry I just couldn't resist...

Alright, I have this beast beat!! You don’t have to read this if you don’t want to, but I want to follow up because someone out there may gain a tiny bit of something that will help them…and someone...

Well I wanted to say Cleveland but the board said that answer is too short :rolleyes:

I assume that you will be putting clear on top, so that is what will take the abuse. Just put several coats on and watch the belt buckles when working on it. As for repair, I wouldn't worry about...

anybody ever used this stuff? Lazer Dry :confused:

Doggone it, I thought I was onto something there...my wife is a real good cook :D

I got to thinking last night that when I do shoot one panel at a time or jambs, etc. I adjust the gun to shoot a...

I hear it's still kinda cold up your way. It's in the upper 70's here...:D

Thanks Phil. On the first coat I tried to put just a tack coat on, but probably over did it some. Then the next coat I did pretty wet, but the paint just sat there in individual tiny globs and never...

What can I do to fix this car? Is there a clear that I can put on that would polish, if I still had problems. should I try to wet sand the red first? Am I right in thinking the first coat lifted to...

I don't think I will ever use AE again. I only did it because it was cheap and I thought I was use to it. If I had gone with BC/CC like I should have there probably wouldnt be a problem. Just wet...

Yes I used hardner and mixed everything per specs.8-4-1. It's LIMCO paint. Used med reducer, it was in the high 70's here...maybe a little warmer in the shed I painted in. I use to mix it in the cup...

I painted the inside of this deck lid a few days ago and the next day I noticed some of it looked dry so I went over it again and it looked good. Then a few hours later I came back and found a few...

Go with Len's advice.


I would just like to add a couple things for you to consider, as for the wheels, sand blast and then use rattle-can (from Wal-Mart) Rustoleum Brand Primer, several coats,...

I am doing an all over paint job on a car with plastic bumpers. Is it ok to use the paint with the flex additive on the whole car? I don't see why not, other than the cost of the additive, would be a...

Yep, that fixed it. Thanks!! Just cleaned up the check valve and all is good. I am planning on getting a new compressor, I've had this one 14 years. But, that is down the list a bit...

Thanks!! Sounds like the check valve...

Does anybody know what the purpose of an "unloader valve" is? It is the silver looking valve in the side of This Pressure Switch it's on a single stage compressor and a small tube goes from the pump...

Man, that is beautiful!!! You did an awesome job on that car. Congratulations…I know it feels good, and you deserve it! That represents a lot of work and persistence. I love that body style…I too had...

I used the tape method several times yesterday and it worked good. I found some lids on the net that I am going to buy. I had another new steel lid and again it wouldn't fit the can...

I hate pouring paint from a round gallon paint can. I can never do it precisely, especially with a new gallon, and when you stop pouring it always makes a mess on the side of the can. My paint store...

I buy and sell a lot of stuff on ebay. I bought a door handle on there for it. I guess I should have been more patient...Next time I will, or just go to pick-a-part. I almost have it fixed now. I may...

This Video on 3M Guide Coat shows them sanding with a da right before painting. Seems like this would more than likely create problems, at least it probably would for me. IE: while you get rid of...

I don't blame them for getting all they can for it. I'm just really surprised that they actually expect to get that much on such an old car. I guess Camrys are pretty popular though. I expected...

I have been blown away by the prices that they want for used body parts around here. i.e.: ’96 Camry rear door $200…Q Panels $200 ea. So If I decided to buy used sheet metal for this car it would be...

This tech sheet makes no mention of humidity...does that mean it ok to use it on a rainy day with 89% r.h.?

Ok, I get it. Thanks!!

This is going to sound really stupid, at least it does to me...
When mixing paint, or primer in this case, when it says X parts primer to X parts activator to X parts reducer...aren't the "parts"...

Yesterday I sprayed on a thick coat of high build primer and didn't sand until this afternoon. It's a hood and I was blocking with 180 and I had a time with the paper clogging. I kept blowing off the...

It's been about 25 years since I've done any painting and back then I guess you could say I was young and dumb and didn't care a whole lot about safety...
Anyway, today’s question is about cleaning...

Thanks, I used it this morning and everything turned out ok.

Spring is here..."they say", Easter is over..."they say", the globe is warming..."they say"...

Well, it's still a little chilly here of a morning and some time past. I need heat and I need it...

How do those PDR rods work? Like on this guys truck. The only thing I can figure is go thru the tail light hole, push it past the dent, turn it 90 degrees or whatever to make it put pressure on the...
