[quote=”rikka23″ post=28557]Oh yeh what the hell is kitty .. http://www.evercoat.com/productDetail.aspx?pID=38
I hate it..”I always feel like I’m on my own . If I had an adhesion problem…I could only imagine what they would say. Five years…. Jeeze.
Ok thanks, next time I’ll make sure and grind all the way down to clean metal. I’ have used the short strand before too.
Well what the hell am I supossed to do when they bring this crap to my shop with a 1000$ deductible and no money? I can either save the quarter and take the check, or let them WALK. There was a big dual A/C evaporatoer in behind the panel too. :S
[quote=”bloverby” post=28537][quote=”billgaino” post=28534] Todays OEM paints are stuck well.
[/quote]
That’s not OEM paint… that’s a previously repaired panel. Not only did you go over the repaint, you went over the old mud that has been hit and therefore very likely to crack in the future….
Sorry Bill but noone here is going to pat you on the back for doing those type of repairs.. :wak[/quote] You know bloverby, I did that start to finish, and I don’t remember that old bondo being there, good eye. This particular job may be a bad example. I did mix the kitty hair in with my filler to prevent the cracking. The point I was trying to make is that it is OK to use filler over paint, as described in the Evercoat video ding linked.
I know you guys give me a hard way about some putty over OEM paint.Here is the description of the putty I use Dynatron™ Xtra™ Glaze 24 oz.is a premium polyester glazing and finishing putty that is especially formulated to adhere to steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, E-Coat and SMC, as well as OEM paint and primer. It says it adhearers to OEM paint. Years ago all they had was red or green acylic laquer putty. Most of Yall are too young to remember. All that was good for was filling a pinhole in Bond after you sprayed laquer primer on it. We don’t do it like that anymore. I used to remove all the paint to bare metal before using fillers. I have stripped hundreds of cars in my day. Many I stripped with 36 grit. I now use aircraft stripper. Things change, I can’t tell you how many times I have found filler over OEM paint with repaint over it that was holding well. That’s when I quit stripping to bare metal. If you have paint….then feather to metal… then feather to filler…. Well now you have 2 transistions to bare metal. The way I do it, there is not even one trasition to metal. Todays OEM paints are stuck well. If it is not, then I will go to metal… What is important is that the area to be filled is rough sanded well. :flamewar Flame suit on! Bill
I tried one time to roll on primer. I used a small roller, everywhere the roller left a line of thick primer at the edge of the roller, after I sanded it flat for what seemed like forever and painted, you could still see where the lines were. Needless to say , I don’t roll primer anymore. Bill
Let your primer dry well. I try to plan my days so at the end I prime and it dries overnight. Painting over primer not fully cured will suck up every time . I use a generic 2k economical primer. Under 100 dollars a kit 4:1
How about these two. I’m not really finished with the truck but the customer needed it to haul manure.
:chair
If you spray a clear base over an unsanded panel, it should wipe of with preclean . I’m thinking you had some get by your masking? If your using the clear base as a wet bed for the metallic orientation, just clear over it. If you start wiping itt away frm the pane
l edge……where you gonna stop? Am I confused enough now?I’m telling you Jm ..they seal everything here. Looks great rikka, :exci did I just get some newboardcodes? :cheers :rofl
I’m in south Carolina, if I buy from another state, I avoid sales tax. Like in north Carolina and still get next day service. Wholesale only. http://www.autosupplyhouse.com/. They have the 150 dollar starter kit.
Looks great, thanks for sharing. Blue always works well for me too.
My link was a little off. I tried to buy online and it flailed at checkout. The customer service rep said to call back later? Wtf? It glows in the dark”. Give me a reason to stay up after dark!
