Beings were talking paint here I'd like to mention one more thing and ask a question about saving paint.
Last year I got some of that high dollar, hi-toxic,last forever type of paint. I guess cause they said you could bend it,slap it,beat it with a hammer type of paint called Chassis Saver.
It's UV sensitive so you have to top coat or it dulls up real good in the sun, and they say don't get it on your skin cause you'll have to wear it off. That's true, my finger is still a little black after 5 days.
The big problem is how to keep the paint, as soon as there is an air space in the can it forms a hard dry cover over the paint.
Right now I'm trying a little experiment, I'm turning the can upside down so the dry cover will be on the bottom when I open the can again.
I get that same thing with Rusto paints also, which was not the case 30/40 years ago. Back then the paint would let the oils come to the top and the color settle to the bottom, stir it up and you'd be good to go.
I called Rusto and asked if they changed the paint cause it sure drys faster now. They wouldn't admit to a change and said put some thinner on top to save it. Ya right, that didn't do the trick.
Any of you guys had the same thing with your paint or know of a trick to deal with it ?
Now, am I impressed with the hi buck paint? Over all, No It stinks up the whole shop,toxic,drys up in the can, and cost a lot. Will it last better? Crap, I'll have to wait another 30 years to find out !!
