I don't know if this has been posted here yet. I stumbled into the thread from a link on a Mercedes forum I frequent. The guys car is a Nissan 350z but the work performed by the shop is so shoddy its spreading around the net pretty quickly...

I didn't take the time to read the whole thread so its possible this may have been mentioned. As crazy as it may sound a roller can be used to apply 2K filler primer in a pinch. I've done it on small projects before when I didn't want to dig out the gun or when moving or covering up other cars...

From the pics it sure looks to have pearl in it probably a mid coat. I doubt its sublime. Most likely one off custom mixed.

Ya they work like a champ. I still remember the first time I used one. It was on a BMW no less. Sure didn't seem like a good idea to me but they really do work!!

autobody101 is a good forum to start with.

Daaaaammmmmnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:oops:

Agree. Reverse drill bit is the way to go.

That is a real sweet color. My best friends 383 Formula S is the same color. I still remember how good it looked when we first started spraying it.

Its hard to say without seeing it but it might be solvent popping. One way this can happen when painting is inadequate airflow in the booth.

Fiberglass does not bond well with metal. Leave the fiberglass to Corvettes and boats. Lead is the preferred method but even some of the high quality body fillers will work over welds.

340 is correct. TIG puts more heat into the metal then MIG. This should actually lead to more warping. The real advantage of TIG is the metal is not hardened as much after welding as it is with MIG. Tig welds can be easily hammer and dollied while MIG welds are often hard to work and can be...

Another problem with lap welds is the metal is efectively thicker where the lap occurs. This can lead to problems later on when the panels heat up in the sun and expand and contract. Basicly the metal expands at different rates and sometimes the seams can become visible. A butt weld is more...
