    Amd vs. Goodmark

    I am AMD dealer and have been selling AMD parts for over 3 years and had only one customer complain about him having fitting issues with AMD Challenger quarters I sold him, yet I have sold countless dozens of these with no complaints.

    Amd vs. Goodmark

    AMD and Goodmark are two different companies. Please post facts instead of some rumors. The dead giveaway is the metal thickness, AMD panels are noticeably thicker and have more pronounced lines I'm not even talking about fitment.

    Mixing Mud for Skim Coat

    why not use a glazing putty like Icing,Half-Time,Dolphin,Metal-Glaze,e.t.c. there are dozens of them, none will have sticky surface if mixed properly and they are made just for that, to skim over pinholes and scratches, I would not take a chance of mixing not enough hardener or adding some...

    Dash Painting Tips?

    I wouldn't use rattle can paint on dash,which is exposed to sun and will fade, I'm sure many will disagree, but I believe in doing things right the first time, also anything that gets painted must be prepped,scuffed,cleaned e.t.c. prior application of any paint . OP, if you're painting...

    Candy apple paint

    if the basecoat does not require hardener or to be mixed with clearcoat, it will be dry and ready for candy coat within 15-20 minutes, as for the actual candy coat,some are done with regular binder and should be sprayed like regular basecoat, some have to be mixed with clearcoat, which brand is...

    Seam Sealer

    I would never put seam sealer over bare metal, you may end up with rust , I always apply it over primed surface. OP, 3M makes a very nice seam sealer 08300 Ultra-Pro , easy to work with ,stays flexible.Whatever you do, stay away from Fast n Firm by 3M, it's junk, will crack within a year.

    Auto Paint Help

    the most important part of smooth finish is your bodywork,which has to be blocksanded prior to application of high-build primer surfacer,then blocked again before applying color, most modern basecoats do not build up thickness, and require no sanding,but I usually do a quick knock down of any...

    Auto Paint Help

    That would be a regular basecoat with matte clearcoat, most paint brands have their own version, you spray it just like regular base/clear, and within 30-40 minutes when clear dries it turns to flat, which can also be adjusted with some paint brands, there is also additive available to add in...

    Auto Paint Help

    I'm sure 3 years later you found the answer, but I'll throw my .02 cents. I would never put alot of faith in DuPont scanner/camera. It's a hit or miss,about 6 out of 10 and when the coolr does match, most of the time the metallics are way to coarse when you look up close. That's why it's...

    sandblast the whole car???

    I hope you guys know, that after sodablasting the metal must be neutralized ,otherwise you will have all you primer,filler and paint coming off in sheets,you can not just wipe with prep solvent and shoot primer

    sandblast the whole car???

    Sounds like way too much hassle for a backwards job, find another shop who will strip the whole car and do it all at once, no paint lines,no oversparay and a much cleaner job, if they can't put a car back together without scratches and chips,they shouldn't be working in a body shop, but that's...

    Exposed body filler on new paint?

    if you don't want to make a mess on new paint, try using Q-tip and if there is access from the back, I'd go that route, it's best if you mix hardener in paint if it's single stage, if it's base/clear, use clearcoat with some hardener, it will seal off exposed filler Stefan
