hmmmmmm .... i'm thinking that the low spots are a result of a high spot which is your soft spot in between the two lows and you need a backing pad or a shrink

Powermyster created a new topic Loctite Rust Remedy in the forums.
Hi,

I am helping a friend restore a 67 charger and there is few panels with alot of surface rust, I personally never done any restoration work and any small rust i cam across I just sanded off in the past.

My question is once all heavy rust is removed, can the rust remedy be painted straight over once it turns black. Some of the areas are difficult to get in at and it'd be handy if this was the case.

Thanks

Darren

Ryan created a new topic New to the world of refinishing in the forums.
Hows it going everyone? My name's Ryan and I was lurking around on here tonight and thought I would join. I liked everything I was reading. I'm 19 year old car guru and new to the refinishing world willing to learn. I got put into my Collision Repair & Automotive Paint/Body class because Auto Tech was full. I didn't want to do it but after being in the shop and learning hands on I love it. I started back in August and I'm in class Monday-Thursday. I plan on starting off as a hobby and possibly moving to a career.

I do have a few friends that I will be soon helping them paint their cars. We have a PPG center here in town and having the student discount helps a lot. I plan on learning a lot from this site and from what I've read you guys know what you're doing. Anyways thats a little intro for you guys. I've got plenty of questions!

Jinx created a new topic Trying to get it perfectly straight in the forums.
hey guys, I am about ready to paint this car. It's in primer now and during the guide coating trying to get it straight I have removed the primer back down the filler. Do I have to re prime it over and try to sand less to leave the whole car in primer?

Or, should I not worry about that and use a sealer and shoot the whole car just before painting? One thing about that is I haven't used sealer before. Can I spray the car with the sealer and apply the base right over it with out sanding?

Last question...

I have the car really straight. Here is what I am doing and trying to achieve.
I wet sand the primer and take it up to 800 to get a good sheen so I can look down the side of the car but has a slight distortion when you look at something off in the distance. If you look at the phone pole for example, and weave your head back and forth you can see the pole has a slight bend in it. My question is, after I sand it smooth and re apply more primer to cover the bare spot I have to sand the primer smooth again for paint and I take it off again.

If I have it that close or can I just paint and clear the car like normal and use a longer block over the clear to get it laser perfect?

I am concerned about sanding the clear after I paint because I am using a pearl in my clear on the second stage and pure clear for the third stage. If I go through the clear and hit the pearl clear, will that be hard to match again?


Thanks guys.

Nexson, AAE, jimmo replied to the topic Re:Shaved Honda Grill Project with Pics! in the forums.
Thanks Jimmo!

AAE, Great advice! As for the paper, I rarely do the paper thing, but i did it just for the purpose that this thread is on other sites that are less educated and I wanted it to look cleaner, otherwise I just spray away lol. Great advice on the CA glue, btw I love that stuff. I actually went back and sanded down the grill and fiberglassed with fiberglass matt. I kept getting fleece fuzzes popping up, so I knew i just needed some glass on there.The grill is already painted as of now.

I am defintely going to check out that primer you suggested, I like to stay with the rattle can for the smaller jobs because of the constant repsraying while fiberglassing, because as we know fiberglass goes from body filler to primer and back over again. Again, good advice!

It was used once and came with the boxes, manuals and all the packaging. I did find that the local guys way out to lunch on pricing for things like air caps (they wanted $200) - RatStang helped me out with a cap at a reasonable price.
