    Reproduction Build Sheet

    My point was NEVER to duplicate the broadcast sheet it was simply to give people a place to "document" their car. Sure I could probably make it look similar but never exact. Whether they matched the original broadcast sheet or not was never the point. This idea never got traction though so I...

    1974 Plymouth scamp Rear tail panel polishing

    I would suggest some chrome polish in the corner first and see if it will take a shine. Even if it plastic or potmetal chrome polish is a VERY light abrasive so it won't cause a lot of damage. You can also try soft scrub or I like to use cutting compound. I use 3m stage 2 cutting compound for...

    Help I had an accident today ...

    It was not an exciting accident. I was driving home the road was wet and slick. I hit a slick spot lost control and spun out. Hit an embankment/tree. Rear end spun forward and the momentum brought me up to where you see in the pictures.

    Help I had an accident today ...

    I could not see the frame because the lower valance shredded up towards the frame. Once we got it up on the truck the driver said the frame looked like it may have been tweeked. I disagree because the core support literally on traveled half an inch to maybe an inch back. The bumper was torn but...

    Just painted the engine bay

    lol I think that may be the issue I made sure my garage lights (florescents) were off and no flash so it is ONLY natural light coming in from the open garage door. As far as am I happy? I think so. Considering I am using cheap equipment with very little skill. This is my first time painting...

    Just painted the engine bay

    Good advice. I think I may be premature in my initial thought though. Looking at it this morning it looks WAY smoother. This is a shot taken from about 2 inches from the surface.

    But wet sanding it would knock it back smooth right? How many coats should I put down to have enough material to work with for wet sanding?

    Just painted the engine bay

    When I said 20 PSI that was with the trigger pulled but static at the gun is 45. I can try and bring it up though. I can try some reducer also. 73AbodEE when you say 1:8 do you mean 8 parts reducer to normal mix of clear/hardener (4:1) ?

    Just painted the engine bay

    I am using Shopline from PPG with no reducer. I shoot at 20 PSI at the gun with a 6-8 inches from the surface. I have tried 4-6 and 8-10 also but it did not seem to help. Could a hot humid day affect if I get orange peel or not? Yesterday was a very hot and humid day.
