    Red Oxide Primer

    I was challenged with that question for a few months and was going to go with your plan but ultimately decided against it because of UV protection; I just couldn’t find an oil base paint which could 100% claim UV protection. I decided to go with the summit line of single stage paint and primers...

    Prepping Plastic for Paint

    I’m deciding on restoring my interior plastic panels, I have read a lot on here and purchased the SEM coating solution, adhesion promoter and dye. Is it really dye, and it changes the plastic to a different color or is it a coating that could scratch off and/or fade with UV rays? My truck...

    86 k10 body work and paint

    Thank you Ricko, do you have a hack for a paint booth since I have been using Mother Nature’ paint booth? Never considered a water heater, too late now since I already painted 1/2 the truck. Your problem solving skills are outstanding, I enjoy reading your responses, always spot on.

    86 k10 body work and paint

    I’m currently using the panel by panel approach, mostly because my compressor won’t keep up with the whole truck approach. It’s not a show truck so I’m good with however it turns out. A couple years in the natural elements should result in a uniform look anyway. Anything you can accomplish on...

    DA New Pantina, at least temporarily

    I didn’t use any chemicals to remove the paint, only a razor blade scraper and a little bit of heat. I again was lucky with the tailgate and heat was direct sunlight.

    Painting rally wheel rim

    Agree, automotive paint has a long shelf life if stored properly. Also, paint goes a long ways with HVLP gun. I think I will used not more than a 5-6 quarts for my entire truck including my interior and I have sprayed 3-4 heavy coats. I have been using the single mixed disposable cups which...

    Fittted the new metal to the areas I cut out yesterday. Pulled the front grill and trim, and soaked front bumper bolts with penetrating oil. PO used straight screws with nylon lock nuts to secure grill, WTH. Cussing the whole time while removing the lower center bolt. Gonna weld the metal...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Cut out a small area of rust on the driver fender, also cut out a small area of rust on the tailgate. Much to my surprise, the tailgate had a patch of bondo on the middle bottom area of the tailgate. I got to looking at it a little closer; tailgate not very straight along the bottom so PO...

    Older badge on 86 K10? Or metal 80’s era badges?

    I’m not a fan of the large plastic gawdy boring badge (no color) from the 80s either. Im planning to weld and fill the holes in the fender which will also save a few $$. However, I would consider a badge if I could find something appealing. In my opinion, 75-80 custom deluxe badge with some...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    My painting skills are subpar, at least I am consistent with the orange peel, amazingly no bugs, a lil dirt, a couple fish eyes and no runs. Something positive, the body work actually looks pretty good. Glad to have this mostly checked off, the white on the bottom should be fairly easy since I...

    DA New Pantina, at least temporarily

    I went with Hugger orange single stage paint rather than safety orange. I’m two toning it using the top and bottom two tone, easier to paint rather than the middle stripe two tone. Also gonna paint the hood white with a couple sport stripes.
