Hey Pete, I got a quick question for you. I have been doing more and more bodywork, have tried a couple different primers. Is there any one primer that you seem to like better? We're doing comlete cars so it's blasted and bare metal to start. I seem to like the PPG stuff. Thanks,Jon.
|
If your using PPG, I'd use there DP first on the bare metal and one of the 2 part primers .
I haven't used PPG in awhile but we used to use K36 for the primer PPG good products so if you like them I'd stick to what your using |
Just about all gone!! :thumbsup: :woot: :cheers:
|
Anthony and Pete its going along good.
|
Wow Pete! Ya know, when I talked to Anthony and he was trying to decide what to do with the car, where to send it. I told him I knew you did killer work, fast, and I thought you was a stand up guy.
From the get go I told Anthony I thought if the paint was done poorly, and considering everything else, I would have real trouble trusting the bodywork. When I talked to you the other night I was not surprised it needed striped or that you made the decision to do whats best for the project, even if it cost you more time and money. Your the real deal brother. See you in Vegas. The first ones on me. |
She's coming long nicely Pete!!:thumbsup:
Keep up the great work. Tony, you must be getting really excited!!!!:willy: |

I have a question regarding the stripping of the paint and what you do next. Will you sand the sheetmetal with finer grade of paper or will you just spray on fillerprimer?
My concern is, that I have seen on my Camaro that was painted 15 years ago, when the paint settles and sink in you can after a few years see the whirltracks from the sanding. This since they used very coarse papers for stripping. You can see this on a lot of cars after a few years. If you compare factory sheetmetal it is really smooth and fine. So wouldn't it be a good idea to sand it down with something like 400 paper before you spray on the first coat of primer? Jan |
I finish my bare metal in 80 grit before primer.....400 is way to fine

If you see whirltracks it usually from the filler not being final sanded correctly! Pete correct me if im wrong! Mario |

That seems to be the issue with 99% of the shops here in Denver, they are all collision and don't want to take on "restoration" work. If someone brought you a straight car in DP90 that a refigerator magnet would stick to over 99.9% of the body, would you be willing to do the final paint work? Just curious what your take on that is. |
Camaro Performers magazine is working to get some of the needed parts to Pete for Tony's car. Makes for a good story and we get tech out of it.
If any car needed saving it's Tony's ... lol |

Well, considering our magazine has sort of "adopted" your car... lol That's why this is called a community.. |
