    Primer wont dry

    well I come to the conclusion that it was because I use xylene for my prep sol ..which was a bad idea cause it became trapped in primer and couldn't escape ..not allowing the primer to dry ..I am currently stripping it all off and we will try again

    Primer wont dry

    well upon my research I messed up ..its a basic alkyd primer ..no activator need ..just reduction if you want ..but so I find it'll not like my single stage urethane topcoat either ..so a major set back ..any thoughts ,,still will have to wait for it to dry before I can remove it either way

    Firewall cleanup & paint prep, any tips?

    heat it up with a torch and use a putty knife it'll come right off ..well the rubbery parts ..the wire wheel and sand ..also I like to use cheap oven clean also ..does a fantastic job and cheaper then a good degreaser

    Auto to Manual

    if the price is right and they weren't rated very high for input torque.. just as a far warning but dodge used the same design and haven't heard much negative things ..so take that with a grain of salt .. I never had issues with it minus gear ratio is long 1 to 1 in 3rd and OD is .75 to 1
