Nice work!

I use these AFS Sanders. A guy here from the twin cities invented them. He makes them in him garage, or he used to anyways. They work really good. There kinda spendy, but well worth it. Just keep in mind, prep work is 90% of a good straight paint job. If your cutting corners in your prep work...

I was a big Rage Gold guy for many, many years. I tried 3MPP the first time as a skeptic, because 3M has never had a decent body filler ever as far as I'm concerned. I used 3MPP the first time and I was sold. It sand easier than any body filler that I've ever used before. If you leave it over...

That I do not know Rani? I've never priced it out. I have heard in the past that it's a little cheaper, but I don't know that for sure?

I used Rage Gold for years, but in my opinion this is better, 3M Platinum Plus! Been using it now for about 5-6 years.

Iwata's for me, but I do this for a living. LPH 400, and Super Nova's

I've been using PPG for 26 years. Shopline has good clear, but I wouldn't use their basecoat if it has metallic in it. If it's a solid color, Shopline would be fine. Shopline is the same thing as Omni, with a different label, but it's all made by PPG. What color are you going with? If it's...

I used to use Rage Gold, but I've been using "3m Platinum Plus" for about 5 years now. Great stuff and sands like butter!

I use PPG on a daily basis, very user friendly. The collision shop I work at uses PPG, and most of the restorations I do are with PPG, because it's readily available. In the past I've used Dupont RM-BASF House of Kolor-Valspar Sherwin Williams But If I could chose what I would use all the...

I heard that the CEO of Maaco was trying to turn the company around and give it a better name for itself. A guy I know brought this little car to our shop, but we were to busy to get it done in time for him. So he decided to bring it to Maaco. It took them 2 weeks, painted all the jambs, and...

Yeah, they went belly up, but there is a place in Oakdale, Mn. One or two of the guys used to work at MAS or something like that. Here's the link>http://ca-performance.com/

If you decide you want to sell it, let me know!

Paint companies jack up the cost of paint anywhere between 1% to 10% every year, regardless of the economy.

It's been along time since I went to paint school, but it's very scientific and way over my head. Anyways, here goes. White would be opaque The difference between transparent, translucent, and opaque objects is that opaque objects are denser in molecules than translucent objects and that...

AAR Quality Fiberglass has them, here's the link>http://www.aarqualityfiberglass.com/cart2/index.php?cPath=53

100% base/clear

Over the course of 25 years, I have used Dupont, Sikkens, House of Kolor, Martin Senyor BASF (RM), and PPG. Although I really like Sikkens the best, but it's a little more spendy. For the majority of the 25 years I've been using PPG. It's user friendly, and it's good product. to me PPG is the...

Search "Fastback340" car, it is a nice one!

I never go more then 2 rounds of polyester, It's usually only 1 round (poly), then 2k primer. If you want a straight car, you never DA anything (bondo, primer, clear) nothing.

It depends really how much the customer is paying me, the more he wants to pay, the straighter his car gets. It could be one round of polyester and one round of 2k. It could be two rounds of poly and two rounds of 2k. I don't like to post to much on these kind of threads, because everybody's...

You can topcoat it if you sand it with like 400, but I only go to 180 with polyester, then I always Put 2k primer over the top of it.

In the past I have used Featherfill, but they changed the formula back in the late 80's and decided not to tell anyone until many people complained about it. Needless to say I quit using it. I currently use PPG Omni LV polyester primer MX245, DTM (Direct To Metal, No etch primer) and I'm very...

I agree with these guys. But if your really insistent about doing it your way Snake, check out this stuff. I've never used it myself, so I can't give you any advise on it. Here's the link> http://www.imperialrestoration.com/products.php?category=2

Haven't ever used any of their epoxy primers, but I wouldn't touch any of their clears with a ten foot pole. I've seen a lot of guys use their clears, and nothing but problems. Just my opinion.

3M 08500 is what I use

I prefer PPG DCU2021

Easiest body filler I have ever sanded!

I don't know if NAPA carries it? We get it through are jobber. Don't know what the cost is either? Sorry I don't have much info for ya hornet, but it's good stuff!

I've been using Evercoat Rage Gold for years, and it's been a great product, but I have recently switched to 3M. I know what you guys are saying, 3M has never had a good filler, but I tell you what fella's This filler is the ****! 3M Platinum
