All those items normally reside just inside the shop door and were moved for space to get the car out. No, I don't store a tripod, macebell, and rifle outside

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
seen blasters demonstrate the gentle way that stuff works by stripping the ink of a cokecan without damaging the aluminium
its good stuff it takes a little longer to strip the paint though as they use a lot less pressure theres a company here that rebuids engines on an industrial scale they blast the cylinderheads and engine blocks with ground cherrypits when some of that stays in the engine it will burn away instead of grinding the bearings to dust i seen a new system a while back that blasts the medium with water and air , it keeps a lot of the dust down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCehkkTTeMk

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
This is some very nice blasting work. Normally, I worry about what will be exposed as a result of the blasting. But, in your case, it just shows the quality of the work already put into this project car!

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Here you can see the quality of a little British car from Rootes Car Company. Unfortunately efter 1964 it was a quality decrease and after the Chrysler take-over it went from bad to worse.
So Frizz, enjoy one of the last of the reasonable good British family cars. |

Leaning toward SPI epoxy primer for this bad dog. Anyone have experience with it? I see nothing but rave reviews for SPI.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
I'm looking into SPI as well for our projects. As you said, nothing but great reviews. Seems to be a quality product. Price is also appealing after using PPG for the last two builds.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
I used it on my 72 frame but I am not proficient enough in ANY paint product to say if it was worth a crap or not. Laid on very nice even out of a cheap gun and sanded with 600 (the runs I had they suggested I sand out with that) extremely easily. I can tell you that their customer service is second to none (not even to Amazon) and they always answered all my newbie questions with respect and patience. There are pics on my thread if you feel like looking but as I said I am a novice at best.

Everything I've heard has been highly positive. Look up the Silver Dollar thread in 67-72 projects.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Awesome guys, thanks. I'll check out those threads. Been reading about using SPI epoxy and filler only; no build primer. Guess it is sandable enough. Sounds like a solid foundation!

Have you decided to take on the task of bodywork and paint yourself? Or are you just prepping it for the paint shop? Also, you don't need high build primer with this SPI epoxy product? Interesting. |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
I asked the blaster/painter (it's a bodyshop with a blast booth) to call SPI and talk to them about their epoxy. At this point I'm undecided on who will shoot the color. I am planning to take delivery of it after blasting and epoxy. I'll do what I can with the bodywork including final primer and then assess my options. Who knows, I may end up shooting some or all of the color.
Do a little googling on SPI epoxy and you'll find guys out there using it without any 2k. Worth a try if the sheetmetal is straight enough. If I end up needing some build primer then I'll use it. |

But if you're not looking for show quality you'll probably be fine without it. BTW, I know you have the skills to finish painting just from how you finish your metal work. The painting is the reward for all the hard work getting to that point. Looking forward to next pictures. |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Still at the blaster's. He's juggling several projects requiring him to switch out his media from "virgin plastic" to a 10% abrasive blend and back. The car is back in the booth for a few last surface rust spots to be dealt with using the 10% abrasive.
After that it gets sanded with 180grit everywhere epoxy will go. Here's that last pics a took about a week ago: ![]() ![]() |
