    Seam sealer signs

    So, yet again, my customer doing air force work is bringing in a locker that should have been painted already, but again, was not. This raw material shortage is hurting alot of people on the industrial side. Anyway, he has this tactical locker, looks like a big aluminum case. Doors and handles...

    Stabilizing additive

    Anyone have an idea of what this is? We went to the MIPA store to get some paint, they claim there is no metallic in the base, just pearls, but massive metallic look. Anyway, told us to thin the paint with this to keep the effect standing up, but the paint hits the panel and its dry. Got up to...

    Do manufacturers use 2K primer

    So I am finishing up the major panel repair on the 03 Avalanche, get to a 4x2 inch area above the tires, on the flare in the sheet metal where all the paint is lifting. Get out the DA with 80 grit since this metal is so thin to begin with anyway, sand the panel, the paint falls off, go thru what...

    Epoxy problem question

    Sorry but I have been wanting to ask. I know this might lead to another of my vacations, but have you looked into making a 4:1 epoxy? Just seems like us stuck in the weather are really at a disadvantage with using SPI epoxy. I use the same analogy as the clears, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 just have such...

    Carbon Fiber

    Do not know if this is the right section, so just wondering if anyone has suggestions for adhesion on carbon fiber. My problem, of course, is this is a Military job for CARC paint and three camera housings are being changed from aluminum to carbon fiber, and CARC specifications have no prep...

    Drip Rails, Gutters

    Does anyone have a source to replace the old drip rails? Above the door is OK but down the quarter is gone on both sides on the 66 Chevelle we are doing now. I dont think we will have much real steel left, top half of the cowl, part of the package tray, roof structure. I formed up some that are...

    Laminated Metal?

    Picked up a decent running 99 GMC Jimmy 2 door for the winter, as we are filling rusted holes on the rocker panels with new metal, it looks like its some kind of laminated metal. Solid steel in the back at the bottom of the door hinges, but grinding it keeps coming up like foil. Mind you, the...

    Old Parts

    I sold the wood trunk frame from my 36 chevy, the guy wanted to buy the whole project since he needed the doors. Anyway, he tells me I had a 35 grill shell, fenders and running boards. Really not interested in using the running boards, thinking of a rocker extension piece, but is there a source...

    Old Glass

    Anyone use any of these products to dehaze or get scratches out of old glass. Had 4 windshields shipped to me, all were broken either before they went in the box, or during shipping. Got a PGW from a warehouse closeby, its ok, but I could do without china glass. Trying to clean up the rear...

    Gas Filler Area

    We have some more work to do on a tail light panel on the Camaro. I dont really expect it to happen, but with the gas cap in the middle of the panel, is there anything you professionals do with a something different than universal clear in those areas or is it something you just need to wipe off...

    Sealer softening base

    I recently switched to SPI. We have been restoring a camaro for about 5 years now. Done some jobs between being tired and hitting walls. Anyway, we went to a new clear after the custom deep blue and rally stripes are on and the clear went on nice. Two days later it orange peeled up and is one of...
