Re: project (sweet pea)
Quote:
AS far as paint on sweet pea......The firewall is Solvent based( urethane ) and the edging and interior is Water Born..All Speice.....OR germen Dupont. Although i would not recommend (water born) for your FIRST paint job...It is sprayed completely different from (solvent) urethanes.And the slightest but of dirt or oil or anything will ruin the whole job......Just a heads up.......OUR shop switched to (water born) ( its a GREEN paint) as in safe for the enviroment ...The colors are much more brighter and more Bright ....So i wanted the Jams and Interior to match as in those areas dont see as much sun to show the true color....I hope that makes since......(basically sometimes the jams on cars i have seen look darker even though its the same color and was shot at the same time....I am trying to avoid this .......So i went this route...... I can get a list of products i have used on Sweat Pea....if you want.... |

Re: project (sweet pea)
Products i like and use...
Fillers (aka Mudd) or (Bondo)...Not a lot on sweat pea....But i like 3m Products. Rage. And Dynatron.....Glazes.....I light 3m Polyester Glazes Primers Etch............(Speice)< in a Rattle Can. Epoxy...........I like PPG.. Filler Primer.(Polyester) i like R/M Cover/Block Primer.....Speice Weld through Primer........Wurth..(Zinc) Sealers.....Speice Paint..... Paint is Paint.....(as far as urethanes go ) Single stage....Been a long time .....But again Paints Paint.....Either you can spray or you can't....... Base.....I like Speice.<>..Dupont = same.....PPG and R/M.....(diamont) (basf) same Clears....... I LOVE PPGs....2000 clear was super easy to wet sand and buff ....And was hard as hell with a few days of curing..... Speice....3350 i think is the number? ...its a great clear....And its what i have used on Sweet Pea......And will continue to do so.....It lays down so easy....And its a pleasure to spray........ Hope this helps........There are lots of great products out there.....These are just what i use and have had good luck with...... |

Re: project (sweet pea)
You are correct about PPGs' 2000/2 clear , it is my favorite clear to spray. Keep up the good work.

Re: project (sweet pea)
small progress is better than none.....Have been a little slow this week at work....(it being a four day week and all) Anyways had some extra time to get a few small pieces out of the way......First one was the gauge panel.....This lil dude took a lot of time to get right...Right in my book any ways....Smoothing the textured part was a pain....Lots of hand sanding with 320 and 3 heavy coats of primer....I also got rid of the little raised area around each opening....Also got my ignition / 12 volt input/juice switch ....Painted and my dome light Bezel.......Anyways here are a few pics along with the gauges i will be running.....I still need to get a Trans Temp. And Water Temp..But they only had electric gauges and i am running mechanical.....Hopefully they will have some more soon....Or i will just order some from Jegs......

Re: project (sweet pea)
That dash looks good! Well worth the hard work I'd say. Of course I wasn't the one doing the hard work....

Re: project (sweet pea)
Looking sweet Tony. You are making some really good progress... I know how much work it is pulling a project together and you are obviously hitting it hard.
How are you planning to mount your new autometer gauges? I took the trim and glass off mine, glued the gasket to the outer face of the gauge and mounted them from behind using the factory tin to hold them in place. If you don't know they aren't factory gauges, it's almost impossible to tell.

Sweet! And I didn't even have to beg for these
Is that where you're leaving your tach.? If so, how did you mount it? I was thinking about putting mine there so could you take a pic from the front sos I can see how it looks? Pretty please
