i dont do a lot of flake jobs anymore but i always loved DX83-86 . last one was my brides bracket car. getting ready to do some bike work and only have a little left. found a substitute for it and got it on sale. bought one 4oz and got one free. enough to last me forever.

i just finished trying out the worn out sunmight 3k with some compound on it. going to take some more time with it but damn it's faster than the B&W pad . 2 passes and it looked close to the pad.

i think my flex is dying. buffing on the roof and it got hot and shut down. thermal protection. kinda pisses me off. not sure i'm going to buy another one. i know how it feels. when the booth hits 100+ i have to give it up. whats everyone using? i aint using no dewalt or porter cable boat...

well hell i'm sold. all the paper from 1k to 3k worked great. i did 1k-1500-2k-3k . the 3k looks like first buff. the presta w/b will kill this in seconds. then i can start foam pads and CG v-series. be glad to finish it so i can get it in the buildroom. A/C ! next year i will have my a//c...

well my love affair with my iwata is over. third time it has let me down. just does not deliver enough product. going back to a hoser . i was running wide open and just couldn't get it slick and wet. hate to spend the money on a kit and still be unhappy.

I hate code 16 silver. That is all.

my booth is 25 years old and paint was flaking off the doors plus the filters were nasty. decided to just redo the whole door. fells better already. added 4 more filters. air flow is perfect in mho :) . passed my smoke test. not too fast but it should move the fog out pretty quick. no way in...

anybody live in san antonio?

ok i need some opinions. i have far too many vehicles to keep up with. so against my better judgement i'm going to use one of the ceramic coatings on them. it would take me a week to clean and polish all 3 of them. i know the lions share are snake oils but there has to be one worth using. talked...

when all else fails .......buy a harley.

ok. i need to bring this up again . using the heat gun works very well BUT it will melt paint into the substraight. it will also cook your damn fingers ! . pay attention to it or you will find out the hard way. cooked meat on your fingers will die and have to be removed . you need something to...

still looking for a cab/chassis to title . cab condition not important. found several 56 trucks but need early . i'm in north texas.

well i'm almost there. finish peeling the firewall the pull the glass. not able to do much in this heat . i get a few hrs in the morning then have to shut down. with my lung compacity i cant cool my core like i should. so i jump in the pool every hr or 2 . damn heat is really bad here right now.

well it is finally time to update my trailer. too damn old and disabled to hump ramps in and out anymore. shit wears me out . so i found a good tilt trailer nearby at a good price. plan to use my pressure washer with a blaster attachment to clean it up and repaint . going to have to figure out...

i've noticed an increase of paint reps on there making false claims about spi . they're too damn stupid to hide their tracks so easy to smoke them out. beware of that cess pool of basement dwellers .

interesting tidbit i thought i would pass along. i bought a 55 ford truck for the title. truck is pretty much junk but had a blue title with it. title matches the data plate but the front frame is cut off for a clip. so no frame vin . now the good part. i went to transfer the title only to find...

just a note on all the new battery powered stuff. there have been reports of e-bikes and mowers that have the larger lithium batteries going up in flames. might want to do a walk around in your garage if it is attached to your house . scary enough having a car in your house .

well yesterday was an event not to redo . drove 100 miles to pick up another 55 ford truck. junk but has a title . started back and my truck has a huge bubble on the right front tire. so it was 30 mph on the shoulder all the way home . god i love rumble strips . but what the hell i made it...

ok , this thread is some old fart wisdom . likely said before but needs to be repeated for the FNG's . lot of talk about poly , high build and multiple coats of clear . what is not mentioned is all that stuff has to be removed in certain areas . example - if you build all that stuff up and dont...

well it has begun . going to peel the 56 then blow it apart to finish getting the paint off . have to pull the engine trans so i can do the firewall . most of the the rear qrts are done . have not found one spot where it had adhesion . little heat and i can peel it by hand . without heat is...
