    paint question

    yes i have done it many times it works great. I have also tried the sem it looks good for a while but it scratch's real easy. The activator in the base coat makes it very hard. If you like you can put a semi gloss clear on top but that up's the cost and may be more of a shine than desired

    70 dart swinger paint

    Sometimes paint age has a lot to do with matching. Also product brand. Colour is always a little different from brand to brand very hard to match different brands. Spray bombs almost never match. JMO ...Larry

    Body and Paint Questions

    First you must get the entire car down to the same grit lets say 180g. Now you have alot of bare metal so you will need to use a self-etching prime or epoxy prime and start block sanding to get it flat. Once you have it sealed you can use any high build prime on top to get to a 400-600 grit...

    Buffing Single stage

    I use single stage acrylic urethane and wet and and buff all the time. Single stage urethane is pretty much the same as clear but with color in it. 1500 to 2000 soft block and lots of water, rinse paper very often as any dirt in paper will make deep scratch's. Then buff with a adjustable buffer...

    Clear coat or not

    depending on the paint used. If painting non-metalic I always use acrylic urathane, no need to clear, cuts and buffs like clear as they are both almost the same product. Give it a light 2000grt. wet sand then buff it out and it will look like it was cleared.

    Could I get a paint job for $1200.00?

    If you lived closer to me I would paint it for $1200 material and wetsand and polish included, body work and dent repair extra. Side work for me and I get more work offers than I can handle so you must have a local back yard body man who can hook ya up. Most guys won't sand and polish for that...

    why cant enamel paint over enamel?

    I'm a painter and have never been a big fan of blending, in time the blended area will break down for two reasons... first being older paint has been exposed to UV longer and will break down faster than the new hence the checking second the solvent used as the blending agent does not really give...

    Painting

    I'm an industrial sray painter and electo is mainly for painting hard to do peices like roll cages piping and such. I found that paint will make its way under paper if not 100% sealed. In my opinion not for use on the outer body of a car... maybe undercarriage.. not worth paying extra for.

    Buffing?

    A paint job is not complete until it has been wet sanded and buffed. 2000 wet with a block lots and lots of water. If you come across dirt sand slow as not to rub dirt in and make deep scratches , rinse alot. stay away from edges and body lines very easy to sand through here. When you buff...
