    Engine Bay Paint

    A question for you A-body paint experts...did the factory clear-coat the engine bay after painting with metallics, or just leave them with the color coat? The color in question is GA4, Winchester Gray metallic on a '72.

    OK; Rust-proofing/Undercoating?

    Those of you who have been following my resto thread know what I've been up to....wire wheeled all the rust, applied Rust-Oleum 'Rust Reformer' and am in the process of applying Rust-Oleum oil-based enamel now. I was planning on applying spray-on undercoating over the enamel after it dries. So...

    Cost of a single-color paint job?

    I realize this can vary all over the map depending on locale, current economic situation, etc....but I'm trying to nail down 'average' cost of a single color metallic paint job on an A-body (Duster/Demon/Dart) to decide if I want to save up or go it by myself (again). Those of you who have had...

    Painting/Bits & Pieces

    I am noticing an increasing number of threads showing guys painting doors, hoods, deck lids, front fenders, valences etc off the car rather than doing an entire shoot all at once.... this all prior to an entire paint job. Is there a reason for this? Easier, less work at one time or something? My...

    POLL-Paint or undercoat?

    Since I'm re-doing the interior of my Duster, I am torn between doing paint or spray on undercoating after I remove all the rust and paint with rust converter. Paint really, really looks good, but I am more concerned with performance than looks, as once the carpet is down, you can't see it...

    Body Caulk?

    OK.....so The Captain has ripped out his seats, interior, carpeting, etc and is scraping and wire-wheeling to beat the band.....and some of the seam caulk is peeling off the panel seams (under the carpeted area). Is it OK to simply use latex caulk to replace the missing 'junk' or do I need some...

    Let's see your Duster/Demon paint schemes!

    Trying to get ideas. What I really needed to do was go to the Mopar Nats but that didn't happen, so... Show a pic of your Duster/Demon, and tell if it's a factory color/paint scheme or something custom. Waiting anxiously........:happy1:

    Time To Choose!

    Time to choose my color! And since I've pretty much dialed in "Winchester Gunmetal Grey", as it was the original color on The Duke, I've pretty much got the missiles locked on target to spray the engine compartment this summer. (For the complete story, see the thread:)...

    What is "correct" for undercar undercoating?

    I am close to the point where I will have The Duke's underside completely rust-free and coated with Rust-Oleum Rust Converter. This car had some sort of tar undercoating over the paint underneath (poorly and spottedly applied) and I want to stick to close-to-original. I was going to paint the...

    Underside paint....ideas??

    Well, soon enough (I hope) my Duster will be completely treated on the underside with the flat black Rust-Oleum "Rust Reformer"/converter. The question is; what to follow it up with? First on the auction block- Type of paint. Right now I'm battling between Rust-Oleum enamel and Krylon; both...

    Paint Code Info!

    Several years ago, someone provided me with a fantastic link to a website with all the correct paint code info for my Duster. I seem to have misplaced it. Can anyone re-direct me to that link or info? Thanks!

    Need Help........

    Hi guys... I have a dilemma and I know some of you can help. I have a '72 Duster I'm in the process of doing a ground-up on. Though I'm a long way away from paint, I have (somewhat) determined I want to try to stay with the factory paint code GA4, which I'm told is "Winchester Gray Metallic"...

    K-frame removal

    I know this question has been answered here before, but I can't remember where. My K-frame is (I think) ready for removal. I've removed the nuts from the front of the torsion bars; now what? I assume they're under tension. What do I have to watch out for, and what's the next step?

    Two Questions!

    I have 2 questions maybe someone can answer; 1) My '72 Duster (was) painted a color I believe was called "Ice Blue", but had obviously been either totally or partially repainted, with the hood blacked out, along with the fender tops, extending back along the top of the doors and curling along...
