your right, I dont appreciate your "comments" especially considering that you were not there to see every step of the process. I know what Iam doing works and I know there are other techniques other than my own. I understand what works and what doesnt by this point and just because you dont do it that way doesnt mean you need to criticize my work. For your info there was no old paint or loose dirt that you seem to think is there. The car was thoroughly cleaned and like i said before you were not there every step and the pictures i posted are just snapshots of the process, not every step of the way. Also I dont know where you think I used the puddy as a skim coat, but as you can see it was in places to fill pin holes.

thanks, I appreciate it. The acrylic glazing putty works great, I have been using it for years and have never had a shrinking or cracking issue, nor any rust from under the paint. I do take the time to thoroughly clean everything beforehand. Ill post up some more pics as the progress continues.

Once again, take advice from people who have been doing it alot longer than you and know what works and how well it works ,

also your pictures don't lie, you have bondo feathered on top of crud, that car should have been blasted or atleast the areas that you covered up with filler, I can also bet that the rust holes on the leading edge of the roof were just covered up with filler ,not welded up,

I can't blame you ,cause you're just starting, but don't get all worked up ,when someone with over 20 years of real experience gives you advice or comments on your work.

Judging by pics in other thread, looks like you can colorsand and buff,I give you that :thumbsup: ,I'd just hate to see slick paint job go to waste when all the rust and bubbles start coming thru

like I said Ive been doing it consistantly for about a year. But off and on for at least 4. So yeah using it for years is an accurate statement. Thanks for trying though. I must be doing something right for having at least 8+ months of work scheduled if i wanted it. You must be a real busy guy though with your paint work if you have time to come on here and bash other painters work and teqhniques because they differ from your own. Thanks for the try bud, but i will take advice from macco before Id ask you for any assistance.

get a life....
:cheers:

LMAO! it's sunday in Florida,not sure what time or day is in your neck of the woods :unibrow: , I think I deserve some rest, I worked all day yesterday and got home at 10:30 pm. And sorry, I don't assist ,you need to ask Maaco,I've been wondering why your paint looks like painted undercoating/chip guard. I'm not assisting, just giving you some pointers, use slow hardener and maybe invest in a better spray gun, that way you won't have to waste countless hours blocking that chip guard orangpeel, you're welcome:cheers:



You could schedule 5 years of $10/hour work, knock yourself out,

Looking good; Quick question for you. What do you use in the drip rail channels? I'm replacing the roof and quarters on my firebird and was wondering what goes in there. Sealer, some sort of filler? Thanks
