Yeah, just get a grease/wax remover at the paint store (theyll know what you need). After you go over the car with the remover and right before you pick up your paint gun to paint use a tack cloth. It's sticky and picks up anything left behind. Like I said watch the help videos on Eastwood if...

I'm way far from an expert I've actually only painted two cars ever...but I painted always outside. My 69' I painted in New Jersey (early morning 6am ish to avoid heat and humidity) I rushed at the end because it was getting hot I should have quit and waiting Til the next morning because it...

In the first picture you can see the pitting before I fixed it and in the 3'd picture you see the same spot after today. I apologize I'm using my phone and don't know why they're posted sideways and all...

Well picked up a quart of PPG PCP and clear. Should be spraying tomorrow if all goes as planned, I'm actually on my way down to the garage to do some more wet sanding. It should be interesting as it will be my first time painting 100% on my own. So hopefully I don't screw up :eusa_whistle:..I...

Thanks guys, it came out pretty good so far with minimal trash in the paint I think there was even a bug or two...In January...lol. I wound up spraying epoxy around 11am then added the filler that night. The next day I did some more sanding had a couple spots that were funny. If you notice in...

Sorry I've been busy lately and haven't gotten a chance to post pictures. We had a couple nice days the end of January in the 60-70's where I was able to spray the epoxy and 2k high build. I do have a question though. I don't have as much plum crazy purple left over as I thought I did (half a...

Thanks, me too. I figured I'm this far why not take 5 minutes to lay filler... Anyways, hopefully it warms up soon. It is suppose to be back into the 60's this week so I plan on trying to get at least the epoxy and primer on. I'll post pictures if I do.

I've never bought new sheet metal before but if I'm buying something I expect it not to be damaged.

Thanks, I understand. Just trying to do my best now. More worried about keeping the pitting from turning into a rusting, bubbling eyesore which it shouldn't. Thanks, I sprayed everything and wiped it all down once the motor was out to prevent pushing the grease/grim around and will use a...

The only body work that needs done is two spots on the inner fenders that have some pitting... I will probably wind up using a little filler there.

Afternoon guys, I am pretty much done sanding my engine bay and just wondering what now? There's a couple spots that show bare metal and an area where the battery tray was that I ground down that had some pitting (its on a bend and not comfortable trying to patch it). I also ground the k frame...

Thanks Cuda I will try to get ahold of him. Yeah it sounds easy enough. Thanks wannadrag, I have heard that before but mine looks like a spider web in many spots and would probably take a week for me to V out all the cracks. Its pretty rough and I believe its quite old I was just thinking...

So my lift off hood has a lot of hairline/stress cracks in it and was just tossing the idea of wrapping it in matte black vinyl wrap. I was just wondering what you guys think? I think the biggest issue would be fitting it around the scoop otherwise I'm sure it would be really simple on the rest...

I had similar question last year after repainting my 69' Plum crazy. I asked someone who told me that the final color depends on the primer. He showed me two plum crazy cars (This was at the Mopar national in Carlisle, PA) One with a gray primer and one with a black primer. The Gray primer car...

x2:headbang:

That sucks... Don't worry though we all have had similar problems... Last year we were painting my car when the sun came out so I had to back out of the drive way turn around and pull back in to keep it in the shade. The problem was the windows were covered and I sorta hit the side of our van...

I can't remember the name off the top of my head but it was all picked out and mixed by a paint manager at NAPA. The clear was fine until I wet sanded it to get rid of a run, bug and orange peal? I was able to try a spot awhile back after Jonnyuma told me to go back and work it with the buffer...

Thanks, I read somewhere to always wet sand in a straight line and not do circles because they can leave swirls. After class tomorrow I'm going to pick up some higher grid paper and try what your suggesting. I do have the M3 compound, it seemed good but made a mess with the buffer.

Thanks for the info. We only sprayed the body not inside doors or trunk also the hood wasn't sprayed. Sounds like I could work on a few of those steps. My dad works fast, which is why he went through the clear as well as the purple on an edge :angry1:

Thanks, I believe I was using 1200. My dad and I painted it we used a good gallon of clear. I was wet sanding followed by rubbing compound. I'll grab some higher grade paper next time I'm out.
