Crash, I've done some interesting testing with the epoxy, it colorsands and buffs to a very good shine once it reaches full cure. If a person wants to cruize with some gloss while they're deciding on color this does work well.

Well, I'm thinking less gloss will be to my advantage, there are some spots on the body that I don't think are ready for prime time. I think it just saves me from looking at them more than anything else. Nobody else seems to see what I see.
I swear I must look like some kind of deranged creature when I look a car over, bobbing my head around catching light in all the contours...

Try it, the panel I tried was cured a month, a person might be able to do it in a week though. Heck of a nice shine for primer LOL. I asked the Stephenson store to get some red oxide in.Barryk;5252 said:

Don't know, sure seams durable though, scratch resistance is good, UV resistance?

G.M. Brown Oxide easy as pie!!!
Mix the red oxide 50/50 with black epoxy and it's dead nuts for the brown epoxy used on late 60's GM vehicles. I'm sure GM had a few different shades of the brown in the 50's 60's and 70's but it looks like you'll be able to hit every one of them with the proper mix ratio of black. No need for any green. The picture shows a can with red oxide and my test panel with a 50/50 mix that matches the brown I've been needing. Glad to have this available!

Red Oxide Epoxy works great, Barry. perfect timing for coating the underside of red 55 T-Bird I'm restoring for a customer. Made base coverage much easier and we all know how valuable that is with the price of reds nowadays....thanks for adding the red oxide to your lineup of fantastic products. The more I use them, the more I love them.

Metalformer,
Is that a custom rotisserie? I like the multi-point attachment and adjustments.

I purchased it as a kit from Bottoms Up lift (now called Accessible systems)about 20+ years ago. I remember I had it all welded together during a three day weekend (I was a lot younger then -now it would probably take a week) lol. The horizonal frames attach to the "L" arms to be used for convertibles for support. It works great - I have probably had 20 or so cars on it. Actually I just built another one a couple of years ago because I had a long term project (1960 Jag XK 150 DHC) that tied the rotisserie up for about eight years. The second one I built doesn't have the horizonal frames(which bolt on and off) and I just use it for unibody musclecars, etc. I just made a list of materials and ordered steel locally. I think it was about $900 for the steel, wheels, HF cylinders without the horz frames.
