[quote=”jimmo” post=25927]Hey guys,
My little brother gave me his slightly rusting stainless steel bicycle and wants me to throw some paint on it. I was probably gonna do a video on it but it dawned on me that I don’t think I’ve ever painted stainless steel or if you can. I haven’t really looked at it yet but i thought I’d pose the question, can I sand and just epoxy this or what?[/quote]
Let me stick my nose into this, back ib early 80s I put together a “sand rail” the tank was stainless steel it was park at the front of the house in the driveway ( live in Miami) the sun shined on the tank and into the living room, it bother my wife so to shut the B?&%$ I sanded it with 320, applied Awl Grip 2K primer ( it goes on real thick) you can sanded for ever and never cut thru it, then 2 coats of Awl Grip Corvette Yellow. 30 years latter is on my son’s back yard and the paint still shiny and only a couple of chips nickel size. I hope it helps specially for a guy that help so many so often. Sorry for the long story

I second that motion Brad :hunt [quote=”Brad Larsen” post=25265]kind of a shameless plug.I just read this link on ABRN where a guy started a thread telling everyone how $5 a gallon gas was going to cut into your budgets and to tighten your belts by putting 2% of your advertising budget into his pocket so that he could monitor your advertising and see if it was working. I would be more apt to give him 2% of my gross to figure out how to get rid of Pres. Obama and get a president in there that would stabilize oil supplies and gas prices in this country. At what point do we fix the problem and quit treating the symptoms?
What are your thoughts on what we should do about gas prices. Should we learn to live with these swings? Wait and pray it stabilizes? Go electric? What do you think?

There again, where are you located? without that fact it’s pure especulation, Ben is correct and those rules apply to all states in general some have more regulations than others. here in Florida a lien is attached to the title, if the title is clear it means: no liens, no accidents with more than 25% of vehicle value. If you are selling thru a dealer’s lisence there is nothing to worry about, again that’s they way it works here, how it works in Canada I do not know, oor any other place for that matter. Idunnit mention Copart INC and Insurance Auto Auctions both of those places have brokers advertised in the respective web pages that will allow you to use their lisence to purchase at those places for a fee and sell thru them for another fee. Regarding the headlights, I just purchase an Altima 2005: front fenders $75.00 apiece, Hood $97.00, Bumper cover $39.00. Radiator $74.00. Condenser $75.00 Headlights $43.00 a pieace ( don’t have to be HID, you are selling it) Paint and other material $150.00, cost af purchase $2440.00 Dealer’s fee $100.00, sold for $6400.00 cost of selling (dealer’s fee) $50.00. The title was a salvage title needed MVD inspection $40.00. And MoCoke your so right
Hi, like Ben mentioned, all depends on what part of the country or state you live in, I live in Florida and that’s what I do but the laws are different from state to state. I use someone else license to purchase and sell the vehicles, I have to little experience in body work and no place to do it. Here you are allowed to purchase and sell 3 cars per year as a private entity. There is money to be made but in order to make it you have to spend it first. To get a license you need a line of credit or bond in most states the bond is around $25,000.00, you need a place inspected by Motor Vehicles Division, it has to be approved by the City also, it requires a certain number of parking spaces available (X number of spaces for X number of square feet of location). I am not trying to discourage you, you can do anything you put your mind to it, by all means try!. See if there is someone in your area that will allowed you to use his license for a fee per car purchased. That’s how I do it. Good luck!!

I was checking the prices on the Prevost, way out of my league, they go from $17.00 to $25.00 a peice.
You left out the most important item; “the know how”, I think you be better off if you have the car painted, it’s gone to cheaper at the end.
