What a great product! PART 2

[rdlackey]

I want to share my good fortune of recently having used the PREVAL sprayer. Several members led me this direction. I recently had my 283 motor completely rebuilt. As you can see in this picture...this is what she looked like the day I picked it up from the engine shop.

See part 2 of this post for after picture.

In one sentence, the Preval Sprayer is a professional grade spray system that is for countless applications, disposable, recyclable, easy to clean and where no compressor is needed.

You're old....but so am I.

Preval is a pressurized can - a rattle can (without the rattle) mounted on top of a (used to be) glass container with whatever you're spraying in it. I guess for something like Chevy orange I don't see the advantage over a goo brand spray can. I suppose you can put a hardener in the Preval, that's an advantage.

Speaking of Chevrolet orange, this is the best Chevrolet orange I've ever used. Here's a link, but shop around for the best price.

I didn't know they still made them! The first one I used was closer to 30 years ago. Now I feel old!

[mknittle]

they were popular for touchup for guys that don't have an air compressor. I haven't seen one for years.

Got mine at the Home Depot. In addition, I used Eastwood's high temp/ceramic engine paint, adding activator to harden it and reduced it slightly for spraying purposes.

Went on great!

I too have also used the PREVAL system on other body panels with good success. I understand that there are body/paint shops that have used them for years on small jobs.

I thought they only sold them at tandy leather factory. For spraying on super sheen and dyes.
But I was browsing through O'reillys, and they were right there on the shelf!
I would say check your local auto parts store, except a couple around me (autozone cough cough) are terribly under stocked, and have some of the worst service I've seen at a parts store.
