Still trying to figure this out,I used glaso all the way through.Used the 923-109 clear on this one didn’t care for it.Used a new repro hood and fender and a couple of rust patches in the quarters.The car had 56,000 original miles and factory paint,the stripes are free hand by the way.
I’m doing another chevelle this weekend,it will be autumn gold with black stripes.I could post some pics of regular crash painting but those jobs aren’t as cool as the old muscle cars.That’s what I’m talking about baby…real nice Jayson!
thats just flat out beautiful very very nice an the car aint to bad looking for a chivy:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Nice work bro.. Im jealous of all you cats with booths 😉 Now if that were a Mustang I would have said FANTASTIC :laugh: Ford man here also B)
Nice Chevy!

Looks good Jason, didn’t like the 109 eh? I guess its not for everyone, it’s one of my favorite clears.
Why do you like it so much Jimmo? It had a nice gloss and it was easy to spray but I found it to be very thin and very slow to dry.It was easy to spray and looks like it would be very easy to run(I didn’t get any ),it was not like the glaso clears I used back in the 80’s.It’s been 8 years since I used basf,the last time I sprayed it I worked at a shop for a year using diamont and dc92 clear.
I don’t understand how you find it thin, especially in comparison to dc92 (that stuff is like water!). I do find it very easy to spray but very, very rarely will I run this clear…..923-255 & DC92 I found to run much easier. Something doesn’t sound right, you weren’t reducing it were ya? & I know theirs a few different hardeners you can use with it, I don’t know if that might make any difference in how it goes on. I guess it likely could since it is a 2:1 ratio. I’m using 929-91/93 as my hardener. The drying times aren’t super fast, I find them to be on par with most basf clears.
Compared to sikkens and PPG clears it was very thin,I mixed it 2:1 with no reducer.The hardener was the normal temp (medium) high solids,I don’t have the number off hand.It just wasn’t what I was used to using and I was asked to demo the stuff on this old chevelle.We don’t have a basf store around our city so I don’t plan on using there products anytime soon.
right on, i’ve never used sikkens clears. …. I’ve used some PPG concept clears that I liked. I find the 109 flows out nice , holds up and doesn’t run easily. It also gives you good time to go back and touch up a spot here & their and the overspray just melts in beautifully. I guess I compare it differently based on what i’m familiar with, which is mostly basf. I’ll have to get a hold of some sikkens one day.
