    Single Stage chrysler white paint question

    If you simply want a " brighter " white don't worry yourself with " Chrysler " colors. Just pick the color you want. It's not going to be the original color now anyway. You want to change the color , don't limit your self to what you can change becuase of a manufactures name. Pick what you...

    Any thoughts on SPI Vs Eastwood Epoxy?

    The top coat instructions are mostly for UV as the epoxy itself doesn't have any UV protection qualities. Parts that are going to see direct constant sunlight I would personally top coat. Suspension or under hood parts I have left bare and still look the same as the Dat I sprayed them

    He is bang on. Here in Canada I could buy $300-400 compressor $50-80 HVLP gun $30 air hose. Maybe another $50 for an in line filter and some fittings. Then the rest is in materials epoxy , tape, masking. Let's say you hit $1000 thats on the high side probably. I think it will be hard to...

    SPI Epoxy vs Summit Racing Epoxy

    SPI is one of the best epoxies out there hands down. I have 0 complaints about it. But before you go and buy it, care to share what exactly you are doing. Sometimes people spend a lot more time and money than they need to, because they read some article that is way over kill for what they...

    How to get rid of surface pit rust on body

    Description is correct. But if it is shallow or superficial. Then you can simply remove the sounding metal down to the same level. AKA just sand / grind it. Even on modern day cars that are only apporx 22-20 gauge steel , there is still material there to be moved if the rust is just...

    Rattlecan Striping, Can It Be Buffed Out?

    Yes enamel will stay open much longer and give you less tiger striping . Enamel will also take a lot longer to fully cure. As far as the door jam, it has tons of angles and different lines. Not the same as painting a big flat section of the roof that is at eye level for you see at every angle

    Painting bare metal prep question. Painting my rockers

    I would not use a rust converter. Most of them created a resin coating over the rust which can some times cause problems whe used with epoxy . Acetone can leave film which is why it not suggested a lot of the time as well . Epoxy is great stuff and is usually ment to be used on its own...

    Dang red paint. Dont like it but what can I do to make it not fade so fast

    The UV is breaking down the paint bottom line. Among other things this is one of the differences between a cheap paint and expensive paint. You can try a good quality wax that should offer some UV resistance. There are some pretty wild ceramic coating out there now, depends how far down the...
