[quote=”MoCoke” post=18074]did u spray it in red sealer first? i wish i did the same with the gold i sprayed yesterday :chair looks like its coming along nicely tho, nice work :cheers[/quote]

I’m curious too. Is that red sealer or 360?. Does the gold cover over that better? Never thought of it but some gold Fords used to use a red undercoat…Hmmmm

looks nice not to shabby for a old fart:P 😛 😛 cant wait ta see it all done

[quote=”Jayson M” post=18081]Yes red oxide colorbuild sealer :stoned My computer suggested a dark yellow sealer but this gold didn’t cover well.So I noticed that this car was redoxide from the factory before the color.So I did a sprayout with the red oxide first and it covered better and made the color more original.Easy way to make it is 2 parts red colorbuild :1 part black colorbuild = instant red oxide :clappy I always try to reproduce what the factory does even on collison jobs,color match seems to be easier IMO.[/quote]

Looks good…too bad the owner didn’t have you guys strip the jambs too.

With the colourbuild, can the colours be mixed with the colour build plus? Our sales rep mentioned something about that…:huh:

[quote=”Jayson M” post=18090]This is a side job I am doing at home and painting at work. Most of the jambs were stripped ,new full 1/4’s were installed,He didn’t pay enough for me to strip the jambs complete ,always 2 sides to every story so get the facts straight before you judge the quality.[/quote]

I was’t meaning to be a d!ck. The quality of work looks great. Just that in the photo it looked like the hinge pillar wasn’t quite as pretty as the rest before primer. Obviously we all try to do good work, but are often limited by a budget/by what we are getting paid to do or not do. I was giving you a compliment and in no way meant to disrespect you or your work.

[quote=”Jayson M” post=18090]As for the colorbuild what are you asking?? If colorbuild plus can be mixed with the new colorbuild 250? The answer is yes but do not mix the old and new hardeners or activators.If you have the old colorbuild plus you can use the new hardener and activator but you must use the new mixing ratio,and vice versa,you can use the new primers with the old hardener and activator as long as you use the old mix ratio.Finally you can mix the old colorbuild plus primer with the new CBP 250, no issues but you should be changed over by now.There is a CBP colorbuild color swatch and all the formulas are on the ecco head,ask your painter or your rep,probably Glen,Scott,or some new dutch guy who was hired to replace Kelly.[/quote]

Thank you, that was what I was looking for. We have the new colourbuild 250 plus…but there are also several quart cans of the old colourbuild kicking around that no one uses. I think the boss wants them used up. There is no old hardener/activator, and I was some what under the impression that it could be used with the new hardener/activators.

I’m iffy on the color, I like it, but I think as a solid it might be too much, it would look good if they broke it up with some sort of stripe our something though. The work is looking real good though jay :rock

Looking good Jay :cheers
