Heat did not affect it and there was no adverse affect in the weld. It was used for seams and overlapping welds. Is it still available or what do any of you do in these areas?
Thanks in advance.

My favorites are SEM and AUto Tech my least favorites are NAPA Martin Senour, Sherwin Williams and DUplicolor (all the same product in different cans) it is way too thick and just a plain pain in the butt to deal with. I use at work one distributed by Windsor that works pretty good.

Do they make decent stuff? :confused: I recently discovered Windsor paint products at a local auto supply shop and the pricing seems REALLY reasonable! I'm hoping to have my daily beater Astrovan ready to be painted come spring, so budget is important-HOWEVER, I don't want to see my best friend have spent the time to paint it, only for the paint to peel off in six months time. :o Any thoughts?

They are an offshoot of our Canadian Tire chain, probably equivalent to Manny, Moe and Jack for you folks in The States. My friend who will be painting my Astrovan works in a fleet body repair shop in Toronto. One of his co-workers there told him that the Windsor paint is used by Maaco Auto Painting chain shops. The stuff is reasonably priced...I just wonder if it would be one of those "you get what you pay for" situations...  Wannabe

If you can find there web site (I couldn't) I may have some clues as to where it is being made.
