Re: 1958 Pontiac Wagon Build
Hi Guys, Quick update, not very exciting, but it is something to get accomplished in this heat.
I picked up some pulleys and brackets that needed some paint, so I gave them a quick coat. I have found that this formula provides a good hard finish when dry, and it allows me to add flat black, or gloss black, to give a variety of different sheens under the hood. I have heard that more hardener will 'flatten' the sheen as well, but I am still experimenting with that. ( 3-4 parts paint, 1 part Acetone, and .25- .5 Hardener ) also, for you Americans, the paint is just a Canadian 'knock off' of Rustoleum.

Thanks for posting this. I've got the paint and acetone just need to pick up some hardener and I will give it a try.

Re: 1958 Pontiac Wagon Build
you may need a slower solvent than acetone on a hot day,
acetone fast lacquer thinner med toluene slow is a rough guide it is worth testing under expected conditions |

Re: 1958 Pontiac Wagon Build
I hope the formula helps as I am still experimenting, but I painted the radiator core and inner fenders last Fall and I am very pleased with how hard and durable the finish is. (and cheap)
Like I said, I like looking under the hood and seeing all the different "semi gloss" black finishes on the different items.
